You save Gordon for the potential of long relief in extras. What a damn disgrace.

He’s playing matchups in a game that could possibly go 15 innings. How dumb. What’s he gonna do If if goes really long into the night.
Random rules question: if a pitcher exists the game, may they reenter the game later as a pitcher if they at first place a position in the field? I think that's the rule in the MLB but I'm rusty.
This makes no sense. Could have left France in to do this. Now you've burned France and Gordon. Heck, this game could go 14 or 15 innings at this point.
Yep, completely ignorantQuote:

Changing pitchers again now. Too bad they can't put France back in.
It’s downright embarrassingQuote:

Bold strategy, Gary. Let's see if it pays off.
So in a tie game, we're burning two of our better arms and bringing in a LHP that gave up a walk off bomb to a lefty two games ago? Regardless of outcome, this should be all that is needed to shut the "hire Henderson" crowd up. Could France not pitch to those 2 guys???
I can't stomach the thought of having to put up with Gary Henderson decisions for the next few years.
I don't understand the logic of pulling France.Quote:

Add this to the running list of stupid decisions by Henderson.
There not throwing enough pitches to burn anything, France and Cole could go tomorrow.Quote:

The stats the booth guys were using shows henderson has not done his homework
Yep. I could not put up with Henderson and my drinking habit for the next few years.Quote:

If this game goes 4 or so extra innings, Henderson will have burned the bullpen before we get there.
We still have self. Don't hate this move
Good job Neff!
I think they mean burning for tonight's gameQuote:

God damn Neff just killed that guy through entirely mental pitching.
Come on, there was really no reason to pull France to have another righty in Gordon pitch to 2 hitters. France could have done the same leading up to Neff and still had Gordon available.Quote:

Guys, Gary was playing for the Neff matchup with Andre the Giant. Now he's like...wtf do I do now?
yeah, that's a moot point. I don't care that Gordon is "burned" and I don't care if we "burn" Neff.Quote:
