Except that he was overthrowing his best pitchers and basically conceding games he didn't bet on by throwing all his junk out there. What he did wasn't smart. It was meant to hide that he was truly gambling on the game. The "Pete rose only bet on his team to win" baloney lots of people bring up is falling right into his trap.
