He outdueled the great Bob Gibson, who won games 1 and 4, in game 7. Gibson also pitched complete games in all three starts.
Back to your question. Yes, but not anymore. They baby the pitchers these days.
Don't be surprised to see Hamels come back on short rest if the Phils are in trouble, but I'm sure they won't be.....  |
You too?
I would've liked to see them skip Moyer's start altogether and use him out of the pen for an inning or two. This way, Hamels would throw tonight and Sunday, but that just isnt going to happen, unless...
Moyer throws too slow and those bats of TB will probably get to him. The Phils would need alot of run support in that game, IMO.
and Bigs...What is up with you and I being tied in everything? FF and NFL pick 'em, the latter being a weird coincidence...Guess this series will help settle the score...
Best of luck to you in the other two.
