Curt has his own take on throwing the CG on Sons of Sam Horn (his ID is gehrig38)… good to hear that Francona’s plan was to let him pitch but take him out as soon as someone got on. And I agree with the fan who said that better to let the pitcher get the CGs in a blowout (boosts the pitcher’s ego without straining him too much) rather than making him insist on staying in in close situations.
Incidentally, I love that the timestamp on Schilling’s message is 6.04pm… so I presume Schilling pitched a CG, cleaned up, went home, and almost immediately logged on to talk about his own pitching?! When I read about his Everquest combat with Doug Glanville, it was clear that he was a computer geek, but I love the levels to which he takes it. I can see it now… on his off days he plays High Heat against the computer version of himself…
