You know, I didn't even think of this last night, but if Montoyo wasn't going to give Kirk a chance to bat or win the game in the bottom of the 9th, why was Kirk still catching with a 1 run lead in the top of the 8th?
If you're going to take the bat out of the hands of one of your best hitters at an important time of the game, then you might as well sub in the better defensive catcher ahead of time to protect a late lead.
This team will always be a step behind and at a disadvantage with Charlie managing.
