He pitched a great game, but Charlie pushed his luck and wound up paying (probably losing the game) for it. The bullpen had to have came prepared for this one. It is a rare event that Eaton plunks out a performance like this, all the more reason that it is important to keep the lead...and that means pulling Eaton before the eighth inning when it becomes inevitable that he is going to lose it! All you do is keep his confidence down. If he left the game when he should have in the 7th or before the 8th I can't help but think he would walk away from the game feeling better. Especially if he earned his first W of the season.I know his pitch count wasn't especially high, but come on! It's Adam Eaton! He is a special case and should be treated as such.
