Umpire called ball was caught, not dropped.

Ah, ok. Thanks

Love letting Benoit pitch to a batter in te 9th again. No reason to always have a closer get 3 outs.

Yep those nuumbers have got change. Starters going only 5 innings will wear out this BP as well!

I think the starters are only going 5 because of the weather and it's the first week of the year. Under normal circumstances, I think Leyland would have let them pitch the 6th (JV for sure). I think he likes that he can break everyone in right now.

Coke's turn after the Benoit leadoff walk.

Oh man, walking the leadoff man in a 1 run game....

And now...Coke......where are the tums

 

[turok]

Please don't walk freaking leadoff plouffe...ehh...nvm, Coke is it.

 

[manchild98]

First pitch swinging...easy fly out.

 

[manchild98]

Coke missed his location and left it up. 1st and 3rd with 1 out.

 

[turok]

uh-ohh..

 

[johnny2x2x]

Shit!

 

[manchild98]

Are you kidding???

 

[turok]

[johnny2x2x]

Worley went 6 Monday and Correia went 7 today. Somehow I gotta think Pitch count is a factor.

 

[manchild98]

Neither Jackson or Dirks wanted to catch that.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Well, that was worth spending the whole afternoon around for...

Who's the closer, again?

 

[turok]

C by Coke-mittee:1-1

 

[gotime909]

Yup, closer's not important.

As much as this is on the offense for not getting more than 2 runs....Benoit cant walk the leadoff guy, and Smoker can't let Coke face righties.....those who don't lean from history are doomed to repeat it.
