Speaking of Clint Hurdle, what happened to his face? Damn, is that what happens when you end up in Pittsburgh?

I think the opposite. Keep him in, you are already down 3 runs. You are facing a pitcher with a 2.11 ERA. You're probably just going to lose. I'd rather see if Ventura can hold it together and go six and give us some innings.

Now get the DP and move on

It's this. You aren't burning the pen out in this game, especially with the tough games over the next week.
