I think I would have been Pissed.....If I made it that far, then it's my game to Lose.
In case you missed it....Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire, Pulled Pitcher Kevin Slowey after 7 innings of play, 4-0 Lead and a No Hitter in the works.
To be fair, this was his answer as to WHY
The reason was simple: Elbow tendinitis caused Slowey to miss his last start. Combine that with 106 pitches to get through seven innings and there was little chance of him throwing two more innings -- even if he continued to hold the Athletics without a hit."We're not going to come close to risking this guy," Gardenhire said. "It's the way it is. It's sad. I'd be booing too because I want to see a no-hitter, but I also know I'm responsible for this guy's arm."
