Why not throw Samardzija out there for a 3rd inning to conserve the pen?

 

I'm sort of fine with it if and only if he throws Howry in the ninth.

[ConstableRabbit]

Well Jody, there was your pitch thrown at Soriano. Although Dave thinks it's for stealing 2nd, which I tend to agree with.

[Banedon]

Gameday says "On Field Delay"...what's that about?

[ConstableRabbit]

Bueno threw at Soriano and got ejected. He didn't hit him thankfully.

Pitcher got tossed for pegging Soriano

We're in the 9th; barring a catastrophic meltdown, there are only 3 outs left to get.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I love the name Chino Cadahia

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

Are we brawling? That one was right at his helmet on gameday, and now we've got the on field delay message

Braves pitcher threw at Soriano's head and got tossed. Braves acting manager came out to argue a bit and now a new pitcher is coming in.

Braves pitcher ejected when he tried to take Soriano's head off with a fastball.

[David]

Oh, nevermind... that pitch sure looked like it hit Sori on Gameday... :oops:

[ConstableRabbit]

Anyone want to see a forearm shiver in game 2? I mean, Renteria isn't with the team anymore, but it would be nice to see Fontenot get back at someone :D

Bueno was tossed. They brought in Boyer.

I know. I'm saying Lou better not bring in Marmol, Wood or Gaudin in to pitch. Waste Howry here, not anyone else.

[WTFCUBS]

Hope sori mashes one here.

[ctcf]

Sucks for the Braves here, they have to use more BP.

[TruffleShuffle]

time to throw at a brave.

He can sneaky power someone over the head with a Nerf bat.

[Outshined_One]

time to throw at a brave.

 

That's what Scott Eyre was for. :(

[weis21]

Howry will come in. I'm fine with this move.

[C.C.]

time to throw at a brave.

 

Nah. Just play the game. Don't need injuries or suspensions.

[nilodnayr]

I have no idea what Lou is doing with the pen today. At least he hasnt burned Gaudin, Wood and Marmol yet. We should be ok for tonight.

 

We should be OK for tonight, but why not keep as many pitchers available as you can? Our next offday is Monday and then we have 16 in a row. Throw Shark an extra inning and give him an extra day off and you've saved yourself another BP arm for tonight, tomorrow, or the next day. Marshall will probably piggyback Harden again so at least we have another long man but still, we should be taking advantage of these low level situations to put us in a better position for the future.

[Mizzou]

They seriously threw at him? F this team.

[gflore34]

Someone should go after Cox, not the pitcher throwing the pitch, this petty BS needs to stop.
