Brach bats and then DOD comes in????

Scratching my head on that one. Its only a 4 run game. OK you don't want to use Hindley in case. But Pearce was available.

The DH came out in the double-switch. The pitcher has to hit.

Guess Buck figured it wasn't a situation worth using a pinch-hitter for, 1 out with nobody on base. I don't see what it would've hurt to use Pearce, though.

[WEAVERMAN]

So, if O'day is in, why was Brach batting? The lead isn't that big.

JS needs a night off. No drama DOD, 1,2,3 please.

Not if you're about to take him out anyway. Also, there was never a DH in this game.

No nelson was in LF.

I correct myself ... I guess he could have been pinch hit for. I hang my head in shame.

Wants Pearce back in case of an injury. Conservative.

I'm so confused. No idea. Just asked the beat writers on twitter this question. Makes no sense, but I have been drinking since the 7th

[ExileAngelos]

Yes Demper, our bats travel well. End it DOD.

Why did we not pinch hit for Brach then??? Did I miss something???

I would love to know this too. As would Gary

[TouchemAll]

Don't go home mad NAT'S, JUST GO HOME!!

Not to ust another PH? And not make any defensive moves.
