After all, I would think that other teams, especially teams in contention, would pitch their relievers like this if it was so necessary. But they don't. But Ventura insists on it, with a team out of contention. The front office needs to wake up.

Rienzo went 6 innings and threw 98 pitches and should've been pulled earlier? So what, we should limit all starters to 5IP/75 pitches whichever comes first and just yank them like it's little league?
