iamshack Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Very interesting move in the Braves/Pirates game. Chris Resop came in to pitch in the top of the 10th, pitched to a few batters and got in a bit of a jam. Bobby Cox came on and brought in Royce Ring to pitch to a lefty. Cox kept Resop in to play LF. Ring then struck out the lefty, and Resop came back to the mound to pitch. Resop then gave up another hit and the Pirates took the lead... Extremely interesting move that we AL fans don't get to contemplate much.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 That's just Bobby Cox proving once again that he's smarter than all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) not that I was around for this period, but that used to be a some-what common move. Edited April 4, 2008 by BearSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Braves were strapped for pitchers as their pen has been taxed a bit, and then they had to have an emergency starter because of Hampton injuring himself before his start. Too bad it didn't work out, but it was fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
