Things I don't understand about Bruce Bochy:

Matt Cain is 22 and throws 110+ pitches when he's pitching poorly.

Matt Morris is 32 and gets pulled after 93 with a one-hit shutout.

I mean, I get it that the game was in the bag, but where exactly is the logic?

Not that hard to figure out.  Morris had a 13 run lead.  No reason to leave him out there.  Cain is better than anyone out of the bullpen.  Throwing 10-15 more pitches isn't going to break his arm, and will do more to help the team win in close games where he's over that dreaded 100 pitch mark.

That's three outs , right? Even if the pitch WAS called a ball , how does Morris continue to bat? Wouldn't his at bat continue the next time the Giants batted?
