I meant I'd edit this one

I'm aware of the conversation.

Since Maddux left for LA,

Chad Reinke will oppose Webb on Thurs. I think Reinke has had only one start this year, a win on Sat. against Philly. He went 5 innings and 102 pitches, gave up 5 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks and 5 strikeouts. Webby going for #19!

Well, it's gonna be totally awesome,

if we need him for a save situation tomorrow, and the next day, and then the next day, and the next day…. etc.

If you want him to get work in, pitch him on Sunday — before the offday.

Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.

by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:35 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't disagree.

But it’s a slippery slope at this point. We might also not have a save situation until five days from now.

by Azreous on Aug 20, 2008 12:36 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

You're assuming one thing here.....

That we have a manager smart enough to think about things like that….

Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.

by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:37 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Except that

as Azreous already pointed out, we don’t know when he’d be able to get work. It’s pretty simple.

Yub, yub!

what your crystal ball tells you?

Yub, yub!

by soco on Aug 20, 2008 12:36 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No.

Logic tells me that if you want your closer to get in work, you pitch him the day before the off day.

Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.

by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:39 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not that part

about needing him tomorrow and the next and the next. No one knows when the next save is coming, and so before an off day might be optimal it isn’t going change anything. Of course, it’s easier to assume you’re smarter than the manager.

Yub, yub!

by soco on Aug 20, 2008 12:43 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Except

that giving him work the day before an offday means that, while it might not necessarily be helpful to give him that extra day, if you end up needing him for a bunch of save situations in a row, it won’t hurt, either.

Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers: Filling the dubious shoes left open by Barry Bonds and the Giants.

by DbacksSkins on Aug 20, 2008 12:56 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

This is true

but this is always hinged on what will happen in the future, and unfortunately as this game showed, who know which player we’re going to get. The only good thing about Sunday, though, is that it already was a losing game, so it’s not like he’d do anything but make it worse.

Yub, yub!

by soco on Aug 20, 2008 12:57 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I wonder what

His record this year is in save situations versus non-save ones?

Hasn’t pitched in a week, and only once in 11 days?

Sometimes

but the entire bullpen has been rocky all year. Sometimes they’re great (like Qualls showed tonight) and sometimes they’re just awful. It’d be nice to have some consistancy, and I imagine this will be the first thing they try and fix in the offseason.

Not that I think the offseason is close, mind you…

And me

Looking good to be back in first. Now, can we stay there more than a day?

Thank you!

Olympics for me now. More gymnastics!

We had enough Olympics in the ninth

I think we just won the gold for Synchronized Swearing…

Ugh

now I’m going to try and rid myself of this near nightmare.

Yub, yub!

Seriously, people!

I go downstairs for half an inning, and you guys almost let them come back to win it? I’m disappointed.

Am I avoiding the subject, or am I doing philosophy?

Get kishi!

It’s clearly your fault for going downstairs for half an inning. You are not allowed to do that for the rest of the season, y’hear me? :-)

If the team's chances depend on it

I’m going to need a collection to subsidize, among other things, a minifridge upstairs. And a good explanation to my wife.

Am I avoiding the subject, or am I doing philosophy?

I have a mini-fridge. It might look familiar to Mrs. Kishi.

It's like living with a six-year old.

Seriously?

EVERYTIME you’re not around, the Dbacks fall behind or do badly!!

Oh, it's only the times I point it out

I mean, today I didn’t even turn the game on until we had a 4-2!

Um

Until we had a 4-2 lead, that is.

And the Dodgers go down 1-2-3 in the ninth

Thanks, Rockies!

Dodgers lose

Back in first. Where did I put that Magic Number?

by Jim McLennan on Aug 20, 2008 1:31 AM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It's still

tempting fate….. the Dodgers had to face Jimenez tonight.

Nice to savor this, if only for one more day, though.

So...

One minute after I posted in the previous thread all my services from Cox went out. No phone, no tv, no internet. Should I thank them for sparing me the stressful ending to this game? Yikes.
