Can we have a reliever get a big 3rd out?

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 07:17 PM) Correct me if I am wrong, we can not demote McDougal. Would he not have to clear wavers to go down AND accept his assignment. Not that I imagine teams are lining up for a guy with a 7+ ERA that can't throw strikes. Cliff Politte treatment it is. There's probably 20 teams in baseball that would claim MacDougal in a heartbeat.

Aardsma and Day down, MacDougal to DL, Fields/Prinz/Buckvich called up.

Come on, no walks to Thomas. Make him hit his way on.

That at-bat for Glaus was the type of stuff I expected Masset to have. 94-96 mph fastball with a good slider.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 07:12 PM) 9.06 Bullpen ERA the last 21 games, outstanding. Even for him this is a no brainer. 100 pitches through 5, Danks is in line to get the win but didn't have his great stuff today, Masset is a long reliever, lots of righties in there for Danks including 3 to start this inning....perfect spot to do this. And that's with Jenks not allowing a run.

I like the move by Ozzie!!

Might as well let Masset start the inning.

0 for 55. I didn't like the first time this game was played, which was on June 2nd.

Crede flirting with another pop up to the right side.

Is that 0-54? That means it's two full games. That's so pathetic.

Are we sure that the run counts?

Hawk wants Erstad's booty....treasure, of course. Oh boy, someone forgot how many outs there are.

0-2 pitch right down the plate....lucky he fouled it off.

He was effectively wild on that pitch. He's got to make a few good pitches here. A double play would be quite lovely.

Good grief, that's a strike!

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 06:52 PM) ok, fathom first guess the move Ozzie will give him every chance to get the win, which is fine. Does it even matter? This is what happens when you shut down after 3 innings.

Danks is throwing batting practice up to the plate. He's missed his spot on about 60 pct of his pitches today.

And here we go. Unfortunately, you could see this coming a mile away.

Wow, that looked like strike 3. One pitch away from a ton of trouble. He has little control of his offspeed stuff today.

Lots of trouble brewing if Danks can't retire the 8-9 hitters here.

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 06:43 PM) 4-0 cubs, derosa just hit a grand slam. all the fans are pumped, but they dont realize, or maybe they do, that they wont win this game. @$$holes or that they're facing someone right out of the minors, since Smoltz can't pitch today.

This is one of those games where it feels we're just waiting for the opposition to make a comeback.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 06:41 PM) This is it folks. One of our aneimic three is going to get a hit this inning. Thome get a hit against a lefty pitcher? Ha!

Very nice turn there. Phillips actually showed much more speed that I thought he had.
