Corn Flake said:Well yeah, that too. In a round about way I was trying to get to that same point, but more focused on the decision that led to ending up using Janssen then bringing him in at all. I'm sure another pitcher could have come in for that final out, although the fact he only threw 3 pitches likely means he's going to be available for the next 2.
Sure. But let's not kid ourselves about the reasons behind it. It wasn't about saving Janssen for optimal usage. Gibbons didn't use him to start the inning because it wasn't a save situation, then he did get used because it was one.
