Another loss caused by Tracy
Again tonight, Tracy allowed another starting pitcher the chance to let the game get away after a galiant effort to give the Bucs a chance to win. Am I the only one that thinks Tracy knows nothing about pitchers. How many Pirate pitchers have pitched past 6 innings lately? Not very many. With the score 3-0 after 6, why not shake Maholm's hand and depend on your bullpen to hold the lead. This has happened too many times this year, I attribute at least 10-15 losses to Tracy in this fashion. Maybe it doesn't matter, but I think it does (36-42 (10-losses) or 41-37 (15-losses)sounds better than 26-52 and don't get me started on the 1-run games that he has lost because he has no clue what reliever to bring in.

Well
That said, when a guy allows three consecutive single and has been allowing almost two baserunners an inning during the season, you may not want to keep him out there - odds are people will get on base.
However, who here is confident that the bullpen would not have allowed those runs to score?
