Ok so who is available to pitch the ninth if Bautista gets into trouble?

I could see bringing another pitcher for the 9th. Not sure who that would be.

@Roll Tidehopes it’s Hall.

LaRussa is famous for throwing at guys.   We are all going to be on edge will Chicago leaves.  I am betting Chicago drills one of our guys either tonight or more likely in the next two games.   

He’s also famous for DUIs. Maybe he gets one before the next game.

Akin Head and Vespi left unless Bautista can finish it 

Would be nice to tack on here

I know it's seriously got me worried the rest of the series. If a White Sox pitcher plunks Adley, you might see fans rush on the field to fight the White Sox. 

[Remember The Alomar]

A three pitch strike out, a wild pitch that almost decapitated Adley, a SCUD missile to the elbow of Eloy Jimenez, then a strike out with the bases full on a 3-2 pitch. I feel like I'm having too much fun at Studio 54.

[Brian88]

There’s no way LaRussa remembers Jimenez getting hit by the time tomorrows game starts. 

[Aristotelian]

Poise is not the word that comes to mind to describe that.

He doesn't see a lot of 101

I dunno about that. Practically every bullpen has a guy in triple digits. It’s not as rare as it was 15 years ago.

He got lucky. Abreu doesn’t typically swing at that. 

I wouldn't necessarily call it luck. He had to protect the zone, and there's nothing to sit on when the pitcher is throwing multiple unhittable pitches all over the zone. A high fastball is just tantalizing enough.

The plan was it was going to be Hall in this spot.  Unfortunately, they found out he isn’t ready.  Now we have to scrounge until he gets ready. 

I don’t think the plan is this spot necessarily.

Just now, Moose Milligan said:

"Do you know who I am!?"

[Hank Scorpio]

He just called that a strike???

You might see an avalanche of little leaguers rush the field
