Pence not making an out in that inning was huge.

Yep.

Generally it's not smart when your "cleanup hitter" tries to bunt for a hit. But given his struggles, even if it's a mediocre bunt it likely scores a run. Great decision.

 

[gp956]

Jinx!!

:sad:

 

[ColinCoby]

Zito sat for a while.

One more good innning would be huge.

 

[gp956]

Yep. And middle to late in the game.

Zeets!

Zito with the hammer curve

 

[ColinCoby]

ZITO!!

 

[gp956]

Zito is dealing.

 

[TheSaboteur]

Will we see Peguero bat for Zito?

 

[dredinis21]

I hope not...let the guy finish what he started. He earned it.

 

[Stokes1931]

Leave Zito in for the 9th to go for the shutout? With a short leash, of course, as we want as little drama as possible.

 

[gp956]

Can you see the selection bias when looking at Zito's stats after 100 pitches? If he's dealing he is more likely to go 100+ pitches.

 

[gp956]

Will we see Peguero bat for Zito?

Maybe.

 

[gp956]

Zito is shocked he's still in the game.

 

[gp956]

Crawford was owed that hit.

 

[Stokes1931]

Zeets for the 9th.
