Bring him if they get the lead to close it out. If he goes one inning he should be able to still start in game 6
Bring in the unit
- Thread starter bgold13
- Start date
I agree.....but he shouldda been in there in the 9th.......the great managers have done that in World Series' i.e. Lasorda with Hershiser....
you can't waste your next game starter in a non elimanation game,and besides the day before you pitch you do a 25-35 pitch tune up so there is no way he could throw more today and pitch the next day and be useful. they need to get lopez in hell they made the trade for him now he is left to rot.when he is on he can shut anyone down.
they don't play til Sat do they?......one inning would not hurt much....especially to sew up a game......make this his tune-up...
make that loss number 20 for Albie this year. Why would they have pulled Morgan???? This game hurts az. Open up the pool for game 6 and the unit
thats right don't know what i was thinking it could of been done that way,well lopez get his shot the first hit was a good pitch,the winning hit was up and out they have no bp at all.
I don't want to say it's "ALL" Bob Brenly's fault, but this is the freaking world series. You go with your BEST DAMN PITCHERS, PERIOD!!!! I guarentee Randy Johnson would have been ready, willing, and able to pitch one inning, especially knowing it could have given his team a 3-2 series lead. Bottom line is you do EVERYTHING you can to win -- which very much includes NOT NOT NOT pulling one of your best pitchers, "just because" he's "only" going on 3 days rest, yadda yadda yadda. The guy (Schilling) had only thrown 88 pitches. That is nothing to him! In a couple of days, he'll have 6 months to "rest!" Now Arizona is left to try and make up for some very questionable managerial decisions. In game 6 and 7 if there is one, LEAVE Johnson and Schilling out there unless they are getting ROCKED! They are BETTER than Kim -- obviously -- it should be their game to win or lose unless they are either out and out getting rocked or tell Brenly point blank they can't go anymore.
