This has been his biggest problem consistently - when to pull a starter. I'm not really sure why that is. I don't think he had a reputation for doing this while he was with the Rangers and Mets....

Consider Patriot's Day. He gave up 1 run. Valentine just has no idea how to use the guy. I was amazed when Bard came back out for the 8th yesterday, it was a Grady Little moment. Bard obviously struggled to get out of the 7th, why roll him back out there? Why not pull him after the first walk? Valentine is horrible, just fucking horrible.
