southsider2k5 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 No need. BC was awesome in the 8th and 9th innings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggio202 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 i found it interesting that marte and gordon were both up with 2 outs in the 8th and not koch...i guess technically thats the right move but i would have thought jerry would have wanted to get koch back in there to get a save so his last outing doesnt stew... but watching koch pitch this year im beginning to believe there is something wrong with his arm...91-94???...thats not billy koch...maybe thats why he wasnt up tonight and manuel let bartolo finish..which is something he usually doesnt do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose that could have done it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 manuel let bartolo finish..which is something he usually doesnt do We normally don't have a pitcher entering the 9th inning having only thrown 90-something pitches, either. Bartolo was never really in trouble Friday (except the 3rd inning), so why not let him go the distance? Saves the bullpen. And I'm not worried about Billy at all. He'll be fine -- early season jitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
