Then he left said 13th man in to hit. And even after the Cardinals took the lead he went and brought up the OTHER most recent minor league callup, Webb, instead of Miller - our $12 million lefty.
I went from frustrated to Shildt's inaction to bemused by his complete ambivalence. I've never seen a manager just say "eh, **** it" even when his team keeps battling back.
The Dodgers have done absolutely everything in their power to give the Cardinals this game despite the Cardinals having absolutely no urgency in trying to take it.
