1 base runner leash

If I'm Bochy, just call in the bullpen to finish this. No need for Zeets here, that's just temping fate.

I agree.

But Z could give up a lead-off grand slam and still have the lead, so I am OK with the nod to a great game...

 

[Epic Voidfield]

Nice jam on the hands on that last pitch.

 

[calsnowskier]

Really, mccarver? The count is 2-0, and you found it necessary to tell us he took the first 2 pitches...


JA


Nice recovery by Zeets, there.

 

[Epic Voidfield]

Wow, really? He's been calling that outside pitch all night.

 

[calsnowskier]

Wow, really? He's been calling that outside pitch all night.

On the other side...

 

[TheSaboteur]

That took a really nasty hop on Belt.

 

[calsnowskier]

Would have been a double if it hadn't hit his arm...

 

[Epic Voidfield]

On the other side...

Didn't he get a call just a few previous to that one? Same pitch it seemed.

 

[MarcoPolo]

Why?

Bochy, learn your lesson. Z is done after 90-100 pitches. No need to eat away at the lead. Tomorrow is an off day

Yeah, GP runs with that meme as well. Sure wasn't the case tonight.

 

[MarcoPolo]

Zito sure lived up to the "savior" role tonight.

 

[calsnowskier]

Bigger game...

Vogey in 2 or Zeets in 5?

 

[calsnowskier]

I have been preaching that for the past couple years.

With a 5-run lead, I am cool with riding him all the way home, though...

Vogey in 2.

 

[calsnowskier]

I don't remember that one, but it has seemed that his outside zone to lefties has been somewhat legit while his outside to righties has been wide.

 

[calsnowskier]

Vogey in 2.

Game 5 was an elimination game, though. That's why I call it bigger than the Colorado game.

 

[calsnowskier]

K

See-Ya!!

Yes, this is an elimination game. But I don't think we'd be here if they lost with Vog's. Losing 2 at home would've been a shitter. At least 1 in SF gives them leverage; leverage for others (ie, Zito) to be given a chance to sack up. And he did.

I hate that Huff is on the roster
