Poke fun at the stats I gave for Loe all you want, but it really just shows your ignorance. Loe could have gone longer than he did in some of those starts, but they pulled him early because they were still experimenting with him as a starter. They were well out of the race, and there was no need to risk unnecessary strain. His pitch counts in those games were low. It&quot;s not that he couldn&quot;t go longer, it&quot;s that they didn&quot;t let him. Furthermore, for an AL pitcher playing in a pitcher&quot;s ballpark to pick up 3 quality starts in his first 8 starts of the season is nothing to scoff at. I&quot;ll take numbers like that in the fourth spot of my rotation any day.
