Besides, maybe the pinch hitting move worked.

Martin might have grounded into a DP.   And then VIllar would have gotten out and the game would be over.

By pinch hitting a guy who would strike out, Hyde may have kept the game going.

Thinking outside the box here.

If you were looking for a K, Martin would be the guy.

Thorne is an idiot.  The catcher throwing to second was a chance to end the game.  Whether Santander was on first or second, or even third if the throw went into CF, did not matter with two outs.  I think Ben knew that and just covered for him.

Hate to be the tin foil hat guy... but slumping since he didn't make the All Star game...

Mancini appears to be taking hitting advice from Chris Davis these last 7 or 8 games.

Any suggestions?

I was thinking the same thing.  The slump started the same day he found out he was passed over as an All Star.

I've had good luck with corn related avatars.

Thorne always struggles with the save rule.

It's not the save rule he's tripping up on there -- it's the win rule. Stanek can't get the W after pitching just two innings, so Yarborough is the winning pitcher. I think even Gary realizes you can't give the win and a save to the same pitcher.

I was thinking more along the lines of boobs.

Maybe pies are somehow involved too?

If he's still crying in his beer over the all star game to the point where it bothers him on the field he needs to see Davis' psychologist.
