0 for 12 with runners in scoring position.  3 for 36 since Monday.

Just above 8%.

 You know, I’m not even surprised. If Mike refuses to make necessary changes, then he must be sabotaging the team, so he’s not surprised either.

And you still won say who you want to bring in.

People who want to criticize the manager, yet all they can contribute is to say "get him out if there" without saying who they would bring in, really annoy me.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I wasn't criticizing the choices of relievers, though I may have tried to go a little longer with Zimmerman. I was criticizing the decision not to walk Mercedes with first base empty, so that the obviously hittable Valdez wouldn't have to face another batter, Mercedes wouldn't be able to put the game out of reach, and there would be a force at every base. Why wouldn't you do that after seeing what the WS were doing to Valdez?
