But he can easily throw 22 pitches in the next 2 innings. The fact that he goes 1-2-3 so often is what allows him to stay in so long.

Ump gave Pettitte a key strike on one that was really outside to Hamilton on the 1-0 pitch with a runner at 1st.

I think Hamilton did "drop his head", as they were saying, on his HR in the 1st!

Neither. I don't think Washington can take Lee out can he?

Ump badly misses the first pitch to A-Rod to lead off the 7th. Clearly a strike and not called as such. He grounds out though.

Honestly, I let Lee go as long as he is pitching well. Pitch count be damned.

Thru 7 innings Lee with 109 pitches and Pettitte with 110. But the two big runs in favor of Lee.

Lee doesnt come out of this game if I am Ron Washington. Granted, that is if he still is pitching well. If he gets in trouble its a different story. But he isnt coming out because of some stupid pitch count.

Yeah I actually think he was too quick with the hook in game 1 with Wilson. Then he panicked and started playing musical relievers.

yep. Unless you plan on going 3 days rest with these guys (which I wouldnt cause you want Lee for a game 7) than who cares if they throw 103 or 125 pitches???

Lee is off the chart.

He stays in if he wants to stay in.....he's more than earned it.

Few stress pitches.

...and he just never throws what you expect/guess. How many 2 seam fastballs have been thrown for a called 3rd strike. Or a change-up at 2-0 (not that he has had a 2-0 count), or a first pitch curve.

Just ridiculous right now. Lee better not be taken out. Whats the difference between 120 pitches and whatever he ends up at?

I bet Ron Washinton would appreciate the Rangers scoring about 5 this inning.

If it stays 2-0....Lee cannot come out. Washington is an 80's throwback guy....not too mention...what would Nolan do?

122 pitches and the last hitter was a K and Lee's still topped out at 93 on both the last two!

I would say roughly the number of pitches he ends up at - 120.

It's just hard to believe over a 3 game stretch no one can guess right and make good contact on any pitch of any count.

Teams would make better contact off of a cannon.

The worst thing for the Rangers is to have a long inning and not score.
