Wacha was shot. I would not have used Zerpa because I just don't trust the guy but he was coming off an unbelievable inning vs Baltimore. Can't be results oriented after the fact. At the time it's not really anything egregious at all. [Reply]

It's always damned if you do/damned if you don't... if they left him in and Judge homered, everyone would ask HTF do you leave him in. [Reply]
