Will Chapman pitch the 10th?

[bigfunguy]

I will be surprised if Chappy's used for the suspended game.

Do we know anything about LeCure? Is he healthy. If so, I'll bet that's who goes.

If not Chapman, should be Parra with the 2 big lefty's coming up.

No way. Dusty will want to save him for an actual "save" situation in the scheduled game.

Before I even opened up the thread I was thinking NO WAY, then BAAAAMMMM, you beat me to it.

Probably how he'll go, but dang, I just don't have a lot of confidence in Parra.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure was warming up yesterday.

I wouldn't pitch him for the 3rd time in 3 days with the possibility of needing him again in game 2.

All respect--this just doesnt make sense. If you'd pitch him in game 2, you'd inherently pitch him for third time in 3 days. So if you are willing to do that, your choice is pitching him in a situation YOU KNOW is important (tied in the 10th) against their 2 best lefty's, or waiting to see if you have an important situation.

To me, he's either available today and goes out vs. Utley and Howard or he doesnt go at all today...

Well, that was a bunch of hemming and hawing about nothing

[AtomicDumpling]

Apparently it was going to be LeCure to pitch the 10th.

Lecure was up throwing. Gotta save your closer, dude. Now everyone's available to help Leake get the sweep.

[reds44]

LeCure was going to pitch the 10th, he was warming.

I only post this because I want 5 pages of complaining.

well, the point is moot now, but again, this logic baffles me------"you need to save Chapman, MIGHT need him for the next game."

All games count the same--had we not scored, you have a chance to use him in a tie game at home. People who wouldnt have would rather save him IN CASE he's needed for the next game????
