We already have a good general idea why, but here's a specific.
Tonight, with a 5-4 lead in the eighth, up came the two Sox who had homered off him earlier in the game, Paul Konerko and Adam Dunn.
An ordinary hurler, with his pitch count over a hundred, would get the hook. Skip let JV stay in. As well he should.
Konerko: whiffo! Dunn stood there like the house by the side of the road and watched strike three go by. They'll grab some bench!
Just another night at the office for arguably the American League's top moundsman.
