Your reason for pulling him an inning early was for offensive reasons... which was to bunt... now your reason for sending him in to bunt was that they're pulling him early. Circular argument.

I don't agree with pulling a pitcher that's cruising at this point when he might be your best option to get a quality start and save a reliever.
You really need to stop trying to argue against pulling Estrada. He was only going to go about 5 because he's not stretched out. So regardless of whether or not his spot was coming up in the order, he was done. RR putting in his best bunting pitcher was a very smart move, since he didn't have to waste a pinch hitter.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was initially arguing that they should not pull him soley for offensive reasons when you're going to bunt anyways. If they're pulling him anyways, of course that was a good move.

I just thought he could have gone an extra inning since he was cruising with a relatively easy road. I'm glad Saito had an easy inning, proving the move decent. I admit I'm not all that familiar with the difference between 60 some and 70 some pitches for a normal reliever. I do, however, think the Brewers should stay aggressive with a lead in the division, and we've seen RR a bit conservative.
Yea, that was my bad. Not real clear in my original post. Now, back to hearing about how racing sausages are not old school.

Uke and Cory talking about Zambrano and where he may turn up.....beautiful!
I'm picturing a Silence of the Lambs type phone call from Zambrano a few years from now. "Hello...Quade..."
It was more, will he show up at the Sears Tower, Six Flags, or somewhere else. But that works, too.

Anyone know where Mitch Williams is from?

In terms of evolution or geography?

Or planet?
Hah! I was joking because three separate times that inning he brought up that he was from Oregon. Nothing better than analysts being super into themselves. Boomer Esiason Syndrome.
