In last night's drubbing versus the Cubs, Brandon Backe threw 68 pitches. That's 20 more than he threw in his two previous bullpen outings. Combined.
Coop:
“I thought he got a little tired there the last inning. I take a hit on that one because I think I might have left him (out) a little bit long.”
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
