NLDS Game 4 SF @ ATL thread

Good job cody:

 

[gp956]

Dang. Can't complain, but a two run lead would have been huge.

Braves have played some horrible defense...but McCann's defense has been excellent.

+1

 

[ColinCoby]

Got the lead, but lack of speed cost us

Boch has been critisized for taking Burrell out of the game too early...but Schierholtz would have scored easily on that play.

excellent point - with these games being so close, it's these little decisions that could tip the balance

 

[ColinCoby]

Is Burrell still in the game, now that we have the lead?

 

[ColinCoby]

Huge first out.

I hear ya. Yesterday he took him out in the 6th inning, which is too early because he's gonna hit again, but taking him out in the seventh for a pinch runner when he's in scoring position would have made a lot of sense. That said, I'm not too upset with Boch because he has taken a lot of criticism for taking out Burrell. Now that he is due to hit again in this game, I hope that Boch keeps him in.

With the game tied, two outs, and the bases loaded, do you pinch run Nate for Pat? I probably wouldn't have, but who knows?

And Casilla gets the Giants right back up there.

 

[Robotech]

Okay, Boch, if you were going to take Burrell out in the following half inning for defense, why didn't you pinch run? Is the double switch that important to you?

 

[gp956]

Nice inning casilla - well, I'm out for the next hour and a half, or so. close'em out boys!

Go Giants!!!

Good points.

Burrell would be the 6th batter in this inning right? I imagine he won't get the chance. He'll be taken out for Nate after the Giants bat.

If the Giants are tied, you want Burrell in the game.

I think it made sense to leave Burrell in the game...even though it ended up costing us.

Yeah, I guess I just wish that he would have kept him in since he was due to come up again. Plus, I didn't think the likelihood was that high that the right-handed Braves batters were going to pull the ball into LF against Casilla. I do also realize that left-handed Melky Cabrera pinch hit at the end of the inning.

Shitty luck.

Torture/Stress level elevated.

Don't want to see Conrad bat. He's bound to do something good.
