First opportunity in 24 years and you have a first baseman playing RF in the 6th inning with a lead. He's never been a good fielder out there. What's he supposed to do, say no, I won't go out there? That's squarely on LaRussa. Duncan's not a good fielder, everybody knows it, he's not out there to be a good fielder, he's out there for his bat. He hasn't played much RF to begin with. If you hit Eckstein cleanup and he didn't drive in any runs, you wouldn't be surprised, because that's not playing to his strengths.
