I think you gotta send Howry out for the 7th. Gallagher looks gassed.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
If you have Chad Fox on your roster...
...then Chad Fox needs to pitch when you have a five run lead.
true.
Even then, I’d be nervous.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
That's why you and I wouldn't have him on the roster.
But this is the sort of time when you pitch Chad Fox. You just keep him on a leash.
6 innings of one-run ball.
A nice confidence-booster for Gallagher. I presume he’s done for the day?

Not really...
Getting into the bullpen in the 7th is fine, and no need to risk it at this point. Let’s make it 10 in a row v. the Pirates!
I hope so.
Let’s stretch this kid out little by little, not all at once.

Hillenmeyer is currently pursuing a Part-Time MBA program at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. In announcing the defensive starters for a 2006 Monday Night Football game against the St. Louis Rams, Bears teammate Alex Brown nicknamed the linebacker “Triple H” Hunter Hillenmeyer. An interview with Fox News Chicago revealed that Hillenmeyer is engaged to the daughter of Tim Floyd, the coach of the University of Southern California’s basketball team. His father is also a chef and restaurant owner in Tennessee.

Good for Gallagher to get a W
and really nice to see Soriano back in full force.
11 pitch save for Kerry. Nice.
Gallagher pitched well without his best stuff. Howry needs to unf—k himself. Sori was awesome. All in all a good win.

Wanna know a good story about that painting?
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
It's apocryphal, so take it FWIW.
Da Vinci used live models to paint each apostle and Jesus. He had nearly finished the painting, but had not found a suitable Judas. So, he goes to a local jail. He looks around and sees a face he likes. He gets the guy out of jail and take him to paint Judas. The guy eventually looks at Da Vinci and says “Don’t you recognize me?” Da Vinci says no. The guy replies, “You should, you used me for Jesus a while ago.” So, the story goes, in this painting, Judas and Jesus are the same person.
