Tony, Isn't it possible you might need a PH later in the game?

[Fat Strat]

We need 9 [expletive] outs.

Let's get 9 outs.

Without them scoring in between any of those outs. Don't forget that part of the equation.

[MDCardsFan]

I'm on about my 9th beer, and at my age, at home with my wife and three kids, that's a lot. Carps gonna have to through a shut-out.

[Gashouse]

If Punto had gotten a hit, would TLR have PH for Carp?

[jim]

really dislike taking that bat out of the lineup in a close game.

At a position that isn't as important as SS/2B/CF or something, and also a guy that really is competent at the position. It's [expletive] stupid is what it is.

[AdmiralKird]

Howard coming up with no one on. Top of the Order will come up again at least in the ninth.

[jim]

If Punto had gotten a hit, would TLR have PH for Carp?

No.

[Maclowery]

Well we'll probably have Descalsp batting with 2 on and 2 out in the 9th now. Oh well. Maybe he'll come through!

[PujolJunkie]

If Punto had gotten a hit, would TLR have PH for Carp?

I can't see that.

[st.lewis11]

really dislike taking that bat out of the lineup in a close game.

Esp. with 2 outs.

It's not like Freese is such a slouch playing D, I don't get this.
