Norris v. Bettis

[tedman2012]

if turlo made that play it would be 2-1

Finally the offense wakes up. Let's hope they don't just go through the motions from here on out. No lead has been safe lately

1. Hmmm, this game is starting to remind me of the Junior League World Series championship game earlier today (in terms of offensive output).

2. If they manage to blow a 7-run lead, the entire pitching staff deserves to be fired. :rollseyes:

youre not going to see a lot of 7 run innings, that was awesome.

 

[tedman2012]

norris is really throwing kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkks

 

[calfan810]

Good to see Norris can pitch with a lead

 

[dandydOnS]

almost

We may not score 8 runs the next 3 games total so they need to keep putting more runs up

Doesn't your statement actually support the idea of spreading out runs over multiple games (if they can), though? After all, a win by any margin is a win, and a loss by any margin is a loss-- surely 4-3, 4-3, 4-3 is preferable to 8-3, 2-3, 2-3?

theres no such thing as spreading runs out. youre not given a total amount to distribute how you want. id imagine he wants more runs to tax the rockies bullpen before the game tomorrow.

Hahaha I'm just giving the offense shit...I just want them to continue to score ...no lead is safe Andres get some momentum rolling to tomorrow and the al east

Hence the "if they can" (because that's a big if). My point is simply that I would prefer a consistent offense rather than one that scores 8 on one day and 0 on the next two days.

 

[calfan810]

Wooooow scored 8 runs and didn't hit a HR

 

[calfan810]

We lose the game 9-8 and jj gets another blown save in the 9th when our lead will be down to 8-7

 

[NJBuckO's]

If they can't hold this lead pack up the tents.

 

[tedman2012]

buck is trying to give jj a 3 run save . why not leave stinson in the game ?

 

[NJBuckO's]

These clowns give away so many late game ABs.

Maybe they have more faith in the pitching staff than we fans do?

You'd think by what they've seen they be alot smarter than that.

Today's situation is slightly different, though: they carried a 4-run lead into the 9th inning. That means no blown save by Johnson.

Yaaaaayyy...:rollseyes:
