Here's what happened:
Craig leads off with a single
Molina walks on four pitches
Jon Jay, who bats in every ****ing 9th inning we trail in and who always first pitch swings after the previous batter walks on four straight, first pitch swings, eventually striking out. It was the best-case scenario as Jay is a double play machine.
Matheny then PH's for Bourjos with one out, despite the fact that Bourjos is an infinitely superior defender to Jay, our fastest player, and isn't a DP threat at all, to have Adams PH. If Adams puts the ball on the ground in that position the game is over because he's got a bad leg. Adams eventually K's, which puts the game in the hands of Descalso, who should now be a negative WAR player after 1200 ABs yet still can not be pried loose from this roster.
Mike Matheny is firmly in Barry Switzer, Larry Coker territory. I can't ****ing believe he's the manager of this team.
