Hutch knew that he was going out in the 9th to try and finish the game. One base runner and he was done. There isn't a single manager on the planet that would have left him in that game. He's fresh off tommy john and there is absolutely no benefit in keeping him out there.
If you think that he's an idiot for that I'm glad he's on the bench and you're on the couch
He should of given him at least one or two more batters. I'm pretty sure I could do a better job then him.

Sure thing.
He threw 115 pitches, which is deeper than any start since surgery. If he hadn't mowed down 20 in a row after 8 he wouldn't have even come out in the 9th.
There is no upside to keeping him out there.
Why is it so important that he does get a complete game? Why is that more important that his long term health? The man is on a pitch count and you want him to go 120, 125, maybe 130 pitches? That plain stupid.There's nothing wrong with giving him another batter or two. It's a big deal to a pitcher to get a complete game when they can., especially a one hitter. It could of been just a pitch or two and the game could of been over. I think there's going to be changes st the end of the season. This team will not make the playoffs again.

Gibby said on the radio today he told Drew between innings that if he allowed a baserunner he was coming out. There are various reasons why, already stated in this thread.
What would be the point of leaving him in? Player stats shouldn't be a concern of a manager. Team wins are. Gibby showed he's commited to that last night.
If he blew his arm out or walked the bases loaded you would be making this same thread about leaving him on too long.
It's August and they're in a playoff position.
Lmfao. That didn't last long. Hahaha

People like you absolutely crack me up.
