Tomahawk Choppa Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I would start Javy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemumo82 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Assuming all five were rested and able to go, that would be a very tough decision. Lowe and Hudson have the most big game experience (esp Lowe), but have been the weakest two of the five recently. Jurrjens and Hanson have never pitched in a game like that, and Vazquez does not enjoy a good reputation in big games (although Bobby would never act like that spoiled toddler Guillen).Vazquez has been our most consistent pitcher this season, and deserves a chance at it. Back in April, I would have never thought I would choose Vazquez... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL Fan in the DMV Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Ah, very nice topic. For me, the decision would be easy: Javy gets the nod.Hanson, although he pitches sometimes like a vet, is still a rookie, Lowe allows too many runs, Hudson is still getting his sea legs (arms?) under him, and JJ would probably be my second choice.And since JJ has more big game/pressure experience between him and JJ, I am going with Javy.

ugadawg Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 for me it is JJ.JJ has been great all year and has had like a .82 era in has last 3 starts. So I would go with the hit hand and give the kid a chance to prove himself as a top flight starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joremarid Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Javy, it would be his turn in the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie3127 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Javy with JJ and Hudson waiting in the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Id go Javy too with every arm in the bullpen for atleast an inning if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedandBlack4Life! Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I would go with Javy as well, since it would be his turn in the rotation and he has been arguably our best pitcher. Also, how sweet would it be for him to pitch another complete game for the win!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotlanta Steve Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Javy's our man. JJ has been just as effective as him but it's only his second year so I wouldn't want him starting such an important game like that when Javy has the experience. He's earned it IMO.

The_ATL Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Would have to be either Javy or JJ.The only thing that bothers me is that Javy has given up the most homers on the team while JJ has allowed the 2nd most base runners.Although I'm assuming that if one were to be played it would be at the Ted. In which case I'd go with Javy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.C. Collins Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I would go Javy because he has earned that chance and that respect this season.JJ would be my second choice just for the fact that he is unlikely to give up any more than 3 runs in a game.

L.Rover Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 one thing I don't expect Bobby to do (because he hasn't played with this mentality in the past), but I WOULD do..... is give the starting pitcher 5-6 strong innings, then put in another of our strong starting pitchers..... Javy goes 5, JJ goes 3, Soriano closes.......I still remember back when Russ Ortiz was one of our frontline starters, and Bobby didn't put him in because he was saving him for the next game..... we were eliminated and never got to that next game.Play like there is no tomorrow. Because..... there isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Vazquez, because it would be his turn in the rotation.As it is, I would be comfortable with any current member of our rotation vs. the Rockies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
