sportsline has dempster hitting ninth. is that right? dusty didn't double-switch?

 

Wow!

[Mizzou]

Let's win it!

[Bull]

great job Ryan!

 

lets win this game now please.

 

I like Dusty using Deptster in the tie game here. Not much to give credit for, but that's forward thinking.

How could he? Murton and Barrett had already replaced their counterparts, the 9 spot hadn't come up yet.

[Fro]

I am seriously wondering if Dusty Baker isn't just stubborn (which I used to think) but seriously does not have the thinking capacity to make good decisions

 

I think he's just stubborn and loyal. Anyone can see Hollandsworth is in a major slump and Murton is hitting very well at this point.

[Brian]

Felipe already making pitching changes :lol:

[Mizzou]

???

 

They had him warm up and THEN took him out?

[Blueheart05]

Felipe is killing me with these pitching changes. :roll:

I concur. I left for a minute and was thinking how I'd love to not see Remmy in there for inning 2.

Yup.

[Blueheart05]

Maybe he's hurt??? I saw him shaking out his leg/knee on the mound earlier. They should have had the other guy ready.

maybe hairston/gerut to cf, macias to 3rd, neifi to ss, dempster in ramirez or cedenos spot. would that work? just seems odd, cause now he'll have to pinch hit and lose his best reliever if we don't win in the ninth.

[Blueheart05]

We'll take the walk Jody!

[Coach C]

Yay Jody!!

[Mizzou]

Atta boy Jody G!

[Flames24Rulz]

good AB Jody! winning run is on 1st.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Gotta bunt here with Macias.

[JGalt73]

We'll take the walk Jody!

 

Don't need your first hit here - take a walk!!! Nice.

[Brian]

Would be nice to see Gerut* be the winning run.

 

 

 

 

 

(* would be nice to see ANYONE be the winning run)

[lowest]

leadoff walk......lets end it fellas

[Blueheart05]

Felipe's moves rarely work. The Giants have a terrible 'pen.

 

Fassero sighting!

[mhuber92211]

Wow...no wonder the SF bullpen sucks. They can only pitch to one hitter!

[Mizzou]

Jesus Christ Felipe!

[wXw]

Questioning Dusty's "Thinking Capacity" is... wierd. I've never heard anyone question a manager's thinking capacity. Call him a idiot? Yea. Call him a poor on the field decision maker? yea. Scream for his head? Yea. But questioning his thinking capacity is..... I don't know.... interesting.

[Coach C]

Goodness. Is this the Monday re-match of the 6 different pitchers vs. 6 different batters?
