April 4, 200818 yr Very interesting move in the Braves/Pirates game. Chris Resop came in to pitch in the top of the 10th, pitched to a few batters and got in a bit of a jam. Bobby Cox came on and brought in Royce Ring to pitch to a lefty. Cox kept Resop in to play LF. Ring then struck out the lefty, and Resop came back to the mound to pitch. Resop then gave up another hit and the Pirates took the lead... Extremely interesting move that we AL fans don't get to contemplate much....
April 4, 200818 yr not that I was around for this period, but that used to be a some-what common move. Edited April 4, 200818 yr by BearSox

Yeah, the Braves were strapped for pitchers as their pen has been taxed a bit, and then they had to have an emergency starter because of Hampton injuring himself before his start. Too bad it didn't work out, but it was fun to watch.
