Somebody please try to defend this: you're down 5-1 in the 8th, 2 on nobody out, with Christian "sub-.400 OPS" Vazquez due up...RH reliever on the mound who CANNOT leave the game ...and you let Vazquez hit. With 3 LH sluggers on the bench available to PH.
I don't care if it would cost the DH. You HAVE TO PH there. You have to.
But no. Rocco "can't wait to get my LH hitters out of the game" Baldelli doesn't.
Weak tap to short, 6-4-3, bingo bingo bongo, 2 out 1 on.
We need a MLB manager.
