Ninth Inning Horsesh*t

[aceduecetrey]

0-2 on the day after entering the ninth inning with the lead.........

Eric Wedge should have never let Westbrook in there after he lets a guy reach in the ninth and then after 2 are on he leaves him out there to face a guy who is hitting .400 against him.

why not leave him in, he pitched great!

Westbrook is 1-6 on the season and he has been snake bit as his team is giving him no run support. I just dont think you give him the oppurtunity to loose the game after pitching so well. I agree you let him go out there and try to get the complete game, but once a man reaches, you yank him. Not to mention Figgins is 4-10 against him and then when he get gets on and Erstad who also hits Jake well is up, then I think it is a no-brainer to pull him.

Yes, and also the Cubs won today in the top of the ninth.

Westbrook had retired 21 in a row before Kennedy's hit in the ninth so I don't think you can fault Wedge for leaving him in. Also, he had only thrown 90 pitches going in to the 9th.

Just another galling loss for my Tribe.

Again, I think the right thing to do is let Jake go out for the ninth, but let him know that he is coming out if one guy reaches.

Here is a good rule of thumb.

DON'T BET ON TEAMS THAT HAVE $HIT BULLPENS.

This year, I think that might limit you to only betting on about 3 or 4 teams then....

BTW- Cleveland has the lowest bullpen ERA in MLB

No...

Specific teams are known to have crap bullpens.

Atlanta
KC
Cleveland
Colorado
Houston (As of late)
Cinncinnati

Of course no Pen is perfect but if I would advise staying away from the teams above.
