I understand the logic of taking Rich Harden out of the game today.
He threw 111 pitches today and it was his first day off the disabled list... maybe EVER.
In his career he has the durability of a sand castle at high tide.
So yeah, I understand why Ron Washington took him out. He needs his arm in the 1 in 382,112 chance that he can last 2 months without getting hurt again.
But man, I'm not sure I'd have the heart to take him out of his no hitter. If he had let up a little dribbler single in the third, this would be a no brainer.
6 2/3 shutout innings from Harden?
A Godsend.
But now he had to be the mean old man to ruin Rich's birthday party.
Let's see if O'Day can make it a combined no hitter.
(2 outs in the 8th... he could do it)
