June 27, 201214 yr Good thing I got the win. Spindoc can stop crying now. You got lucky. Horse head in your bed tonight pal.
June 27, 201214 yr You don't warm someone up while a dude's throwing a no hitter. Not unless he's at 130 pitches. After the first hit, sure. You stall with a trip and get someone going quickly. Not BEFORE he gives up a hit. Bet Sparky would've.
June 27, 201214 yr Someone must've told him to go out and have fun. Lost in translation?Translator told him he needed to get on a roll.
June 27, 201214 yr Bet Sparky would've. I'd find it hard to believe that any manager would at 80 pitches.
June 27, 201214 yr Someone is getting dotted for that tomorrow. Perhaps, but I think they know he wasn't trying to show anybody up. It was just so spontaneous. It was hilarious.
June 27, 201214 yr I wasn't paying much attention, but it's hard to believe Stubbs should have caught a ball that was crushed and hit off the wall? It was short of the wall.
June 27, 201214 yr Perhaps, but I think they know he wasn't trying to show anybody up. It was just so spontaneous. It was hilarious. Then again, do you want the Reds to retaliate at 100+?
June 27, 201214 yr I'd find it hard to believe that any manager would at 80 pitches. Well, he was at 90, but anyway. Still, I don't think pitch counts were much of a concern for Sparky. Pure instinct was what he went on, and had he been managing this version of the Reds, he would be well aware of Arroyo's ability to fall apart in a hurry, and would've had somebody ready.
June 27, 201214 yr I'd find it hard to believe that any manager would at 80 pitches. Back in the 75 season Soarky used to get booed by the fans lots of times when he would go to the mound to get his pitcher at the drop of a hat. Gullett was the only pitcher he loved. He might have gone to the mound after the 1 out walk.
June 27, 201214 yr After 1st hit there should have been a conference...atleast with the catcher and pitcher...then he should have been pulled after the shot off the wall. What ever happened to Dusty not leaving a pitcher out there to lose a game? There are those on here that believe in that.
