Now Demp needs to pitch his best sequence of the game

calm down and do the job

Because he has .396 BA and 17 HR in 53 games

Yeah, that would do it.

no way only if this was game 3

and we were up 2-0 in the series

by bizzle4 on Oct 1, 2008 7:08 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I think

The plan is to have him ready to throw a couple of innings tomorrow in case Z gets in trouble.

by dbaltman on Oct 1, 2008 7:08 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

No.

Not a chance. Lilly is starting Game 4, no matter what. It’d be Marquis, if it was a long appearance.

a walk to Manny is better than making a mistake and him tying the game. Go after the next guy!
