Some of his other moves, I could be convinced or at least willing to listen. This move was plain old fashioned mercury free dumb.
Maybe, but there is still an underlying flaw. Look at (2 starts ago) when Fedde pitched good for 5 (or 6?) innings vs the Orioles. Fedde only had 66 pitches, and he gets the hook, and, we had the DH that game. Davey just CAN"T leave his starters in to finish a game. Now, I'm not saying that Fedde or Sanchez should always go 9 innings. BUT... when they are pitching GREAT, and still have a low pitch count, then it's dumb to pull them.
