Question of the Day 6/02

By , 10:49 PM

Your team is losing by 1 run in the bottom of the 5th inning.  The score is 1-0.  Your starting pitcher has pitched very well.  In fact, he has allowed just 2 hits, one walk, and has 6 K’s.  The bases are loaded and there are 2 outs.  Guess who is up to bat?  Your pitcher.  What do you do?

BTW, your pitcher is your number 3 starter.  His “true” talent RA per 9 is .4 runs worse than an average starter.  He is also an average-hitting pitcher.
