Berkman gets the biggest hit of the year and you pull him. Meanwhile, he would have led off the 10th instead of Adron Chambers.
You pull Freese for Descalso, removing all power from your infield sans Albert, yet keep Theriot in at 2nd.
These moves are completely illogical.
If you're that worried about keeping Berkman out of right, put his ass at first and move Albert to 3rd. Hell, that would make more sense than what Tony did. It's not a coincidence that this team is 8-13 in extra innings this year, and it can't be put entirely at the feet of the pen.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
