Two Much To Ask? - IGT 4/16/10 NYM @ STL

[smg58]

While I'm glad Catalanotto got a hit, why wouldn't Manuel just pinch-hit Pagan there? He pinch-ran anyway, and Catalanotto is neither the better hitter in general nor more likely to tie the game with a homer.

I didn't know about Feliciano, so I'll cut Manuel some slack. Although taking out Perez with a shorthanded pen gets even more puzzling. Sigh.

I'll gladly take Wright's single but it was silly, I think, for Keith to suggest that the single was preferable to a HR.

Catalanotto (Gary Cohen noted immediately) entered the game 7-for-14 lifetime vs. Franklin. He left it 8-for-15. If you're not gonna use Mr. Smithtown against a pitcher off whom he's batting .500, then send him back to Suffolk County at once.

Reviewing this post-mortem just makes me more Jerry-angry than before. I don't usually get angry with managers. What do I do?

I find that coming up with dumb nicknames usually helps me.

Also, eating my feelings.
