Better get somebody up right now....

Billingsley aint fooling anybody.

Gotta have a short leash after that 1st.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

If we can get him through 4 innings and only give up 3 I'll consider it a success.

Gotta have a short leash after that 1st.

No you don’t. Today is not the day to give him a short leash. Try to win but don’t burn anymore bullpen than you have to.

Depends. You can pull him early but then you have to pull everyone after him early too. 2 innnings max for relievers. That would keep everyone semi-fresh for tomorrow if needed.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

We have a bunch of arms - we need to play to win today.

If we lose, we burn a bunch of arms tomorrow anyway, then are in even worse shape moving on, and with less rest. Giving the game away in the 2nd inning would be stupid.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

So if they have 10 after 5 innings of Billingsley that's a good handling of the pitchers?

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Put France in the pen right now

 

[MSUDC11]

If it starts going bad we will pull him, but it’s way too early right now. I’m not saying wait until it’s 10-1 but you gotta let him work through it as much as you can.

 

[muddawgs]

I feel like we are going to score runs because we are squaring this pitcher up but if we give up 15 runs it won’t matter and yet bill is still out there throwing BP.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

We can recover from this if we pull him now

 

[Len2003]

Agree. He needs to be pulled now. It’s only gonna get worse once these batters start cycling through again.

 

[maroonmania]

Better pull him now are this thing will be out of reach in a hurry.
