This decision was beyond stupid to me. I could see if the Cubs had a lead but they didn't. I used to want to have faith that some of the old timers would have a little more respect for the game and not give in to the weenie tendencies of today's game. So much for that. Pinella played 2007 baseball, the version where pitchers are treated like lil girls with skirts on, and he lost.

I thought you played playoff baseball all out to win each game? I can understand pulling him if it was the stretch drive of the reg season, but not in Game 1. Even worse is it's only a 5 game series. Maybe, maybe you pull him in a 7 game series to try and get him back 3 times, but what if there is no Game 4?
Now...he was truly dealing last night so I wasn't crying when he got yanked, but that will be second guessed a lot
