Finley:

Chuck Finley pitched 7 shutout innings today, throwing only 99 pitches. Of course, that means you have to get him out of the game and go to the setup man and closer. Shuey and Wickman combined for 5 hits and 3 runs in two innings, nearly blowing the game. Finley's not a 20 year-old rookie. He should be able to go past 100 pitches, especially if he's going well. I see Bobby Cox do this with Maddux all the time. If there's nothing wrong, and the pitch count is low, why not leave the veteran in the game?
