Not surprisingly, Peavy’s performance didn’t result in a win. Thanks to his pen, he watched closer Trevor Hoffman serve up a two-run walkoff homer to Arizona shortstop Stephen Drew. The blow off the Cooperstown bound reliever came with one on and two out.

What ashame. I guess it was almost predictable considering that Peavy worked the first seven shutting down the D-backs before his pen couldn’t hold it.

It’s just more evidence that today’s games pale in comparison to the old days when starters used to go the distance when they pitched the way Peavy did. Even if he needed another 20-25 pitches to complete it, you know that would’ve been the case in the old era. So, the biggest question is did he ask out?

Who knows? But score another one for why this era of pitch counts stinks! A big thumbs down here.
