4/26 GDT: Braves vs. Red Sox - Homerless streak to end vs. David Price?

What is it with Fredi taking out his starters at just over 80 pitches almost every night? Oh yea, gotta manage like game 7 of the WS every night. That's working out so well too...

It makes me SO mad. So mad. Let the guys pitch. We are looking toward the future, so we ACTUALLY WORK TOWARD THE FUTURE.

I am worried about causing injury to bullpen arms too, like using Withrow too much coming off injury or Weber on short rest after multiple innings and almost like a start his first one. Note I am also considering how Fredi warms up these same relievers at times in games they don't get into. This is what killed Gearrin's arm when he was here (not just pitching in games) and ended the career of Linebrink (Linebrink blamed Fredi too that off-season) and obviously there's others I could list including Venters as the best of them all. EOF being what he is now is another big name formerly.
 
Price has been on it, but about 4 of his strikeouts has been looking when they shouldn't of been called a strike.
 
I believe Weber has been battling fatigue due to misuse after filling in as a long man and being warmed up too much in games not pitched.
