Bizarro World
Great Googaly Moogaly! I could hardly believe I was reading the Chicago Tribune this week...
Dr. Phil criticizing Ken Williams for not signing Kenny Rogers? He usually reserves that treatment for Jim Hendry not signing Matt Clement.
Mike Downey cracking on Ozzie Guillen for being a hot-head? It’s a nice bookend to his piece on Dusty’s kooky comments about “steroid McCathyism.”
A lengthy piece on the comeback season Frank Thomas is having in Oakland? Just a few months ago, Corey Patterson was the One Who Got Away.
And perhaps the oddest of all – Sully criticizing Dusty’s handling of young starter Rich Hill. Sully said “the question was whether Hill could have lasted one more inning before turning it over to the bullpen.”
So it’s come to this – Baker’s judgment is called into question when he pulls a young starter after 93 pitches. In his previous start, Hill threw 112 pitches.
After all the wailing and gnashing of teeth over Wood and Prior, Sully is now advocating that Hill be allowed to throw 100+ pitches two straight starts? It must be Bizarro World. It’s the only explanation...
