NFBC Message Boards

Josh Johnson left Monday's game early due to a mild skin irritation on his right middle finger, according to Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post.

Guy's pitching a one-hit shutout with nine K's after six innings, and he's yanked because of mild case of prickly heat. Now I've seen it all in this absurd, f*cking season I have had enough of these idiot managers and pussy-ass players. Man do I appreciate Cal Ripkin Jr.'s streak more than ever. He must shake his head in disgust and amazement whenever he sees shit like this. Definitely owns one of baseball's unbreakable records. In this era, it will truly nnever be broken...

If there was a LIKE Button I would like your post Mike! Couldn't agree more, its crazy!
Hope all of my buddies in NFBC land are good, I have been crazy busy and laying low this summer on these boards.
Enjoy the rest of the season all!

Josh has a boo-boo

Too funny but there is a flip side. If anyone told me Johnson would have a zero ERA, 0.167 WHIP, 9 K's and a win before the game, I would have taken it. A couple more shut out innings ain't gonna help much ERA/WHIP right now, so I am kind of glad they pulled him to lock in the stats (i.e. before he left with a couple of baserunners on for one of the Fish bullpen to blow up for him)!
