I guess it was the left/right thing but really, a utility player who has bounced around for years or a top prospect who has been hitting the ball hard in the last couple games? Not much to sway me to pinch hit there.
Yes, Franco is frustrating us again. He has hit pretty well so far this year but was a big zip tonight. Except for a pair of huge home runs, Altherr is also disappointing with the bat. The season is still young and both along with Santana should have a ton of hits yet to get this season.
We cannot expect to win every game, although I hope we do. It is important to come back and win tomorrow.
