Where do they find that number? Tattooed on his backside?Wingack said:
But they should have. If he had "40 pitches" in him, start him and see how long he can last. It only makes sense.
Yup. Every Giant except Panda put the barrel to the ball last inning and the only reason Panda didn't is he put his elbow to it.SemperFidelisSox said:Guthrie is next.
Instead of using him in the middle innings? I like that idea more.Wingack said:But they should have. If he had "40 pitches" in him, start him and see how long he can last. It only makes sense.

So that's ~8 outs. Where do the other 19 come from.Wingack said:
That is what Bochy said he is "good for." At least that is what someone seaid in the thread last night.

Any wireless phone commercial, any Chevy commercial, any Fox TV show commercial. Might as well add "Dumb and Dumber II".glasspusher said:Ah, now the commercials I won't miss...
Yea, I agree. Bumgarner gave you the best shot at putting up zeros at the start of the game. Who knows what the middle innings will look like.Wingack said:They could be down 3 runs in the middle innings.

And if, as someone else pointed out last night, he fails because he hasn't pitched on such short rest, he puts the Giants in a crappy spot. The game is tied after two innings. If they get a lead here against Guthrie, I expect to see him for the middle innings on a short leash. Everyone not named Strickland and maybe Machi will pitch tonight for SF.

It is the last game of the season. If he is pitching well, you leave him in. You could potentially get 7 strong out of Bumgarner.

SEVEN????
Dude, rethink it. Schilling was on ESPN all over today and while he suggested that he would have started Bumgarner as well, he gave him 4, 5 tops
1947 Dodgers started Hal Gregg, a guy who'd had a 5.87 era that year for a 70 ERA+ down from his career 82 ERA+ . Guthrie's numbers are 96 ERA+ this year and 102 for his career.DanoooME said:Who'd have thought Hudson would be out of the game before Guthrie? I mean, Guthrie has to be one of the worst pitchers to ever start a Game 7. I'll have to look that one up. He may have had a decent year this year, but he's been meh his entire career.
Harrison for Texas in 2011, Wright for Cleveland in 1997 were pretty underwhelming.DanoooME said:Who'd have thought Hudson would be out of the game before Guthrie?

He had his chance in 2003, but went out drinking in Boston instead.glasspusher said:Nice inning by Guthrie. Wonder if Hudson would have figured things out?

Hudson is no spring chicken and isnt exactly spectacular away from Pac Bell.DanoooME said:Who'd have thought Hudson would be out of the game before Guthrie?

Me tooOrel Miraculous said:If I'm Bochy I'm going to Timmy before Bumgarner. He's been a terrific reliever and he's rested. Get two strong out of him first.

Didn't Randy Johnson go 3 IP in relief in the playoffs for the '95 Mariners?
