Oh NO! Why was BIG Z taken out???

[Slow Pitch]

After only 5 IPs & 82 pitches w/ a 5-2 lead vs PItt??

Please please dont be bad!

He was in warming up for the 6th & then he came out before the inning started....

Take it easy. Z isn't hurt.
Lou just eased up on his workload. No need to waste valuable pitches on the Pirates.

Right, they said that he threw something like 143 pitches in his last two starts previous to this game and they wanted to pull him early to give him some rest.
