Bringing Benoit in is just like bringing in Fernando Rodney. You have no clue what you're gonna get from one day to the next.

Really? I think Benoit pretty much saved the season, from a bullpen standpoint.

Here we go

3 outs left

 

[manchild98]

I'm guessing Miggy's night is now over.


Gotta get Crisp out here.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Do they make defensive replacements?

 

[spockmaster]

alright, LETS DO THIS

 

[biggunsbob]

Here we go...

JV looked ready to finish it, but I trust in Benoit too. Will be hindsight is 20-20, I disagreed with it, but Beniot had been great this year.

Should be.

I don't see what the big deal was. They were starting to square up his pitches more, his PC is getting up there, and his command was waning a bit.

Also, Benoit has been lights-out this year. No problem with this move.

Exactly, I wouldn't have minded seeing JV come back out, but I can't argue with the move.

Notice JV didn't seem to either.

Alrighty then no pressure Benoit (balls)

Maximum stress levels due up

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

benoit has way better command than rodney

True Benoit gives up hits instead of walks

I think you put Iggy in at SS, but I dunno if they move Jhonny to 3rd or not.

 

[Mitchrapp]

If I worry about Benoit, its the HR ball.

His 1.03 WHIP this year begs to differ.

 

[biggunsbob]

A's only have 2 hits and a only a few batters hit hard... He has handled Crisp... I just don't see it coming from a guy who has thrown 120-130 pitches in a outing before...

 

[LGRW_9]

Should be Santiago at third, Iggy at short.

 

[spockmaster]

Maximum defense, Santi in at 3rd, Iggy in at SS.

Justin Verlander; Last 2 playoffs vs A's (4 starts): 31 IP, ER, 43 K, 0.29 ERA, 30 straight scoreless innings

 

[kalinecountry]

Iggy at short, Ramon at 3B, Benoit pitching,

 

[bdtay1971]

Maximum defense, Santi in at 3rd, Iggy in at SS.

I like it
