@ripbuccos @JMackey_PGH Fair.

@ripbuccos @JMackey_PGH Repaired*

[... @mrgoodstuff23]

@ripbuccos @JMackey_PGH Show me any scientific study or data proving that the difference between 77 pitches and 95 (in a one game sample mind you) has a significant impact on recovery and potential re-injury to the elbow he had surgically prepared.

I’ll wait… or probably see you ask Grok.

[... @mrgoodstuff23]

@ripbuccos @JMackey_PGH No he won’t lol. Opportunities like that occur maybe once in a pitcher’s career on average. He will never forget this, that I can assure you.

[... @mrgoodstuff23]

@JMackey_PGH Let him go to 95-100? If it’s still the 8th, let the bullpen blow the lead then so at least the fans had one or two more innings of hope.

[Donny Football @DonChed54]

There are already Pirates fans calling @937theFan ready to bitch about the game, per @CharlieBorgesJr. A game that is not yet over. It’s the 8th inning at PNC Park.

[Dan Zangrilli @DanZangrilli]

Ben Cherington at his press conference today deferred a lot of questions about specifics to various topics that he, "would leave it up to Donny."

I wonder if it was, truly, "up to Donny," a Jim Leyland disciple, who a year ago at this time had Gene Lamont on his left hip, to remove Jared Jones.

It's certainly something no one will ever admit aloud. I'd also love a detailed explanation as to the risk with 'ups' (innings), which Jones had a season-high six. What's the harm? Many will say it's an inexact science, and no one has all the answers. If that's the case, why not let the game come to you? If there is a logical baseball reason, steeped in research and science that shows that doing so can put a prized arm in peril, lay it out for us. Educate us. Make us a more informed baseball audience. I think we'd all digest the robbing of potential history that just occurred tonight a little easier.

Instead, a cryptic, we know better is what is told to us in a roundabout way. But do they?

You mess with the Baseball Gods. You spit into the wind. You always get what you deserve [Joey Bart just homered]. 2-0, Braves.

@TylerHeasley @DanZangrilli So let him pitch? And then he rests?
