“I’ll tell you why we took him out: We were trying to watch his innings,” Collins said. “I also know what he’s saying in the papers about getting a little tired. I said, ‘You’ve got to be careful.’
But Terry, why does what he tells the media matter at all?
If he tells the media he feels fine would you let him throw 143 pitches? It is either the right time to take him out or not.
Personally, I don’t know why he even got to 99 pitches given the score.
I’m glad Wheeler told people he is tired. It will decrease the chances that someone leaves him out there too long.
