I can't tell you how many times i have posted here in the Playoffs.... "Why didn't we leave Timlin in for the 9th too?"
Wakefield for some reason scares me a little .... well ALOT with the wind blowing out...... I would feel safer with Williamson if they pull Timlin or Timlin lets the Yanks get a run here in the 8th.
nut if we hold on and get there then that is my only option for that game....... Without a doubt! I would be curious to know what the line in that game would be. What do you think? I'm saying maybe -115-20 Pedro
i agree about Timlin...ive said the same thing....he's given up 1 hit in 27 batters (something remarkable)....if they lose with their closer people will 2nd guess if you leave Timlin in for the 9th and he blows the lead, people will 2nd guess.....Little said Williamson is the closer....for his own cofidence sake (should they ever advance) you have to go with him in the 9th with a 1 run lead...he's done very well when he gets ahead 0-1....the one time he faltered was in game5 of the Oakland series when he had pitched in 3 ina row...other than those 2 walks...he's looked good...their whole pen has been GREAT....
looking back on this season...it was all offense during the season...if this team should not advance it will be the offense that takes the blame...b/c their staff has been rock solid....
