sin city sox fan Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Bottom of the 9th. Bases loaded. Sox down one and season on the line. Who would be most clutch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Hates Prospects Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'd want to know who the hell is managing the game and why one of these players are batting in that situation. Maybe this could happen if it's the bottom of the 17th on the last day of the season after the rosters have expanded. If it did, I'd rather have it be Lillibridge because at least he's not Jerry Owens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxpranos Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 17, 2009 -> 12:29 AM) Pinch-hit with Betemit or Anderson. Anderson would be any managers last choice .

SoxAce Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Anderson would be Ozzie's last choice Fixed. Oh and I'll take Owens. A groundball to the 2nd basemen can perhaps give us a prayer for an error than a guy who will strikeout and his big ears hearing every boo from the cell.

Dick Allen Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I really don't know what everyone was expecting from Lillibridge this spring. He hit .220 in AAA and .200 in the NL last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalls2598 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Mar 16, 2009 -> 11:27 PM) Bottom of the 9th. Bases loaded. Sox down one and season on the line. Who would be most clutch? I know the following story involved a video game, but i thought fellow Sox fans would love it. Last week, i was playing MLB 09 The Show. Best of 7 Rivalry, I was the Sox and my friend (Rob) the Cubs. We were in game 6, and i had the series lead 3-2. Bottom of the 9th inning, 2 outs, Cubs leading 5-4. With 2 guys on, i had Jerry Owens up, and he was facing Marmol. I told Rob, "well this should be good, we're going to Game 7", when, wouldn't you know it, Owens pulls a Joe Carter, and hits a walk off, series ending homer. Highly unrealistic in real life, yet still highly entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 My dog holding a bat in her mouth probably has a better chance of making contact than either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthsideDon48 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 If Owens and Lillibridge were the last 2 batters left on the bench, then definitely Owens. I would probably tell him to lean in on the plate a little bit though, to increase his chances of getting on base by being hit by a pitch.
