5/26: Cubs (Zambrano) VS: Braves (Hudson) - 1:20 P.M.- WGN

[tgk]

He's up over 90 pitches. If this inning lasts much longer, I hope Dusty gets somebody up. I don't want to see no 150 pitch individual accomplishment. If he can give you 7 innings with only 1 run given up, you should take it.

 

Seeing as the season is already in the tank, I'd let him stay out until he gave up a hit. I mean, how many legitimate chances at a no hitter does a pitcher realistically have in his career. Of course, I'd also make sure he had a couple of extra days rest before running him back out there too.

 

Knowing the Cubs, Dusty will leave him in, he'll throw 150+ pitches, walk a couple in the ninth and give up a three run homer, lose the game and then go on the DL after his arm falls off.

 

But then again, I'm an optimist :lol:

[goonys evil twin]

Think 105's enough for Dusty to pull him?

 

Nope. But you have to have a reliever warm early in the inning. You don't wait for the first hit to get somebody up, when he's already thrown this many and struggled as much as he has.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Pitch 1 - Called Strike

Pitch 2 - In play, out(s) recorded

 

Aramis Ramirez singles on a ground ball to center fielder Andruw Jones.

 

That doesn't make any sense.

 

Pitch 1 - Swinging Strike

Pitch 2 - In play, run-scoring play

 

Freddie Bynum homers (2) on a fly ball to right field. Aramis Ramirez scores.

 

That makes even less sense.
