Poll of the moment: Bring him out for the 9th?

[Balsa]

Poll of the moment: Bring him out for the 9th?

 

Nope. I'm pinch hitting for him and then bringing in Dempster.

Ah yes, good call.

[shnsajax]

Let him finish. 108 pitches 75 for strike.

Poll of the moment: Bring him out for the 9th?

 

How many pitches?

108 or so. I say bring in Demp.

 

I'd let Rich keep going, but first sign of trouble (hit) bring in Demp.

[Omar]

Looks like Hill is done.

108 pitches.

 

DO IT

[RichHillIsABeast]

Where's omphaelos with his Rich Hill bashing?

[B]

Poll of the moment: Bring him out for the 9th?

 

Nope. I'm pinch hitting for him and then bringing in Dempster.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Demps Warming Up.

[cubweiser03]

Go with the closer.

[YearofDaCubs]

I can't believe how the Braves just stole Soriano from Seattle.

Nope. I'm pinch hitting for him and then bringing in Dempster.

 

I agree. Let's not pull a Dusty just b/c we "feel he has it in him."

[Omar]

Another flyout to CF Jones.

[PrimeTime]

STOP hitting to A. Jones

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Theriot flies out to shallow CF.

Nope. I'm pinch hitting for him and then bringing in Dempster.

 

I agree. Let's not pull a Dusty just b/c we "feel he has it in him."

 

Pitch count aside, this has been about as stress free as a game can get. I think Hill can do it.

[da bears]

I wish Edmonds was playing center for the Braves. Theriot would have three more hits.

I know he can do it, but I'm gunshy considering the club's luck with arm troubles.

[Omar]

ANOTHER TO JONES!

[inari]

Hill is well past the age of the injury nexus.

 

Regardless, I don't think it's a bad decision to pull Hill. I just think he can finish this one.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Izturis flies out.

He's been cruising all night though.

 

But that's moot with Floyd batting. :D

[Omar]

Floyd PH for Hill.

[Brian]

I have a real bad feeling about this game.

 

 

And Andruw Jones is the one I'm looking at to do the damage.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Floyd into PH
