of course not- but I remember not liking the move at the time because it just seemed to throw everything out of rythm. There's no reason to take a guy out at 85 pitches when he regulary goes 110+. The game was going along fine and suddenly everyone in the bar was like, WTF is going on? On paper the move may not have been "bad," but it was such a surprising move that it threw everyone for a loop. They would never say so, but I have to imagine that the players felt it too- maybe even Marmol who probably was surprised to be going in that early given Z's pitch count.
