Looks like the 9th is Young Tony's. No one in the pen.

May as well let him go the distance. He's earned it.

I don't think 89 is too few.

If someone gets on, then what...you pull him? That's another 5-10 pitches for no real reason...this game's over. Maybe it takes him 10-15 to get through the ninth even if no one gets on. Why bother? We don't need to save the bullpen, and there's nothing to really gain by having him pitch the ninth.

That said, I'll bet he does pitch it...TLR is big into rewarding people who've earned it...and Reyes has most certainly done that.

Do you think he gets it?

I don't think so. Not to be pessimistic but I forsee a bloop single or something by Polanco!

Always get in that defense when you are ahead--even be a lot

You dont need runs you need outs.

I haven't heard that too few pitches thing before. RC might be a good one to answer this.

I agree that he deserves the 9th. The Looper idea had good merit, but Reyes really deserves a chance at a CG in the wolrd series.

Poop.

That was some bloop.

Duncan was the DH...Taguchi was already in LF.

And....Monroe goes yard and Reyes leaves on a low note. Blah. Great start, I disagree with leaving him in for the ninth (glad I said so before the dinger).
