So pull one of your 5 best offensive guys for a pinch runner to lay down a bunt? Plus lose your DH if you bring him into the field. No thanks.

That's why lifting Upton initially to put Saunders in was such a questionable move. Gibby thinks he has a lefty right match up so he pinch hits Saunders only to have Farrell put in two lefties to get him out in both of his at bats.

Jose has been marginal at best this season. I doubt you would need to lose your DH unless there was an injury.

Yeah but he already burned Upton...who's he going to pinch hit with? Darwin Barney, Smoak, or Navarro? Neither one scares anyone.

Gibbons has to know they are going to pinch hit here. Not sure why he brought Cecil in to face the first batter. He's such a Terrible manager.

Jesus that breaking ball had about an inch of break. Get Osuna in there for 6 out save.

Good question, I'm not sure. But lately, the last half of the season - he's been horrific.

Barney would have been my choice there in that situation. Handles the bat well.
