Yes, but when you've got guys hitting even .200 on the bench... someone with the potential to at least hit a fly ball to the outfield... I think this ranks up there with those bonehead managerial decisions that Bucsfan started maybe a month ago... I don't care if you've got Bob Gibson on the mound (in this age of baseball)... if the guy is batting exactly .000 for the season in the 7th inning with men on 1st and 3rd you HAVE to pinch hit for him no matter how bad your bullpen is, especially when the score is 1-0 and you might not get another chance... if the Brew Crew go 1-2-3 in the 8th, they're done with the bottom of the order against Izzy in the 9th.
