[bkeich]

Bringing in the lefty to face Harper really paid off for us. He was then forced to pitch to 2 RH bats.

I wonder if this will become less common among managers. The habit of wanting to use the LOOGY can be a bad move in this set of circumstances.

I bet managers push for a single exception each game so that they can use a pitcher for less than 3 hitters once per game.
