Why Didn't Adcock stay in the game longer?

That is a good question Birdman. Getting ready for relief apperances is different from starting a game. Different amount of strength training, long toss, etc. There is different programs of weight training, stretching, and throwing for relief pitchers and rtarting pitchers. Adcock also is a Rule 5 pick that came straight from the low Minor Leagues. I am just thankful he pitched well and I wouldn't have cried if he went 6 or 7 innings. You just don't want to kill a young arm in a season that doesn't mean much right now. I personally could give a shit about pitch counts or all that. I would throw a guy out there until a guys arm flies into a million pieces some even all the way to Platte City, but I see why they are careful. Don't want to MECHE him.

Billy Butler has an OBP of .391
Wilson Betemit has an OBP of .379
Matt Treanor has an OBP of .379

Getting Matt Treanor to take walks...It's obvious that Kevin Sietzer has some sort of Golden Healing powers. Hopefully he uses them for good. Like to cure Kordell Stewerts aids.
