I just saw this on SportsCenter and cannot believe that Ross Stripling didn't fight tooth and nail to stay in the game. If that's me, I am begging the skip to leave me in and let me try to go the distance. I also saw the post game interview and the kid said it was the right decision and that he was tired. Tired?!?!? You are 5 outs away from a no-hitter in your first major league game ... suck it up princess!!!
Somewhere Cy Young, Sandy Koufax, Satchel Paige and the like are rolling over in their collective graves. They should run out right now and interview Nolan Ryan and see what that cowboy has to say.
The move backfired as the reliever gave up a game tying homer and the Giants hit another homer for the walk-off. Karma is indeed a bitch.
And the wussification of sports continues ...
