Dumb move Trembley

[The Wedge]

There we go baby, getting back in the win column. This also marks the first game thread that I've participated in that we've actually won, so put it in the history books.

Technically we're not back in the win column. We put a win way back in to the column from April.

[Fred Manfraud]

Wow, I seriously disagree with that intentional walk.

Now a single loses the game anda walk ties it.

You have completely taken away any breathing room Cherry had. He has to get Dye out. Before he could pitch carefully to Griffey and try to get him to hit something to a fielder.

But, before I finish the post, we win the game. I still think it was a very bad move.[/quote

I agree.

Dumb move Trembley

Slow response, Miller.

[Keith SIO]

It was right to walk griffey regardless. I think the count was 1-0 or 2-0 before the intentional. Don't pitch to him from behind.

DT didn't want to use up any more bullpen in this game. So it was win or lose. Consider the situation...

[Webley Webster]

With two balls and Junior batting, and Cherry looking scared, oh hell yeah it was.

That, and the fact that Cherry has so far been substantially more effective against righties than against lefties, is why this was a good move.

[Miller192]

Slow response, Miller.

Yeah I know but I like to pile on instead of starting the piling.

[Fred Manfraud]

I am in no way accusing you of changing your opinion, but it is very easy to say that now. I disagreed with the move. You and The Wedge were obviously correct.

EDIT: Sorry, I was responding to Keith

My friend, you show the speed of Ramon Hernandez on that post. They are in the clubhouse having a victory Gator Aide. Give him credit for not letting the left hander beat him on a cripple 2-0 fastball.

Fair enough.

I think Cherry was obviously pitching scared to Griffey. He was obviously more effective to Dye. Risk. Calculated risk but still a risk, but no risk, no reward. And as someone said, if it goes any further you start really messing with who you can use and for how long in the full game.

Speaking of, on that first pitch to Griffey, that's the fastest he's moved in a long time to get that errant ball.

Kinda sucks that they're making DT do a post-game conference after a continuation game, I really wouldn't be a fan of that as a manager.

[itsernst]

So was it a win? I am lost...mlb.tv cut out on me.

[Fred Manfraud]

The few times I've watched DT's post game press conference he comes off as being smug to me. For those who watch more, iss that a fair assessment?

Yeah, but what a great response to the Why walk Griffey question.
