Okay, can someone explain to me why we are "defensively indifferent" in a 3 run game in the 8th inning?

good point, but Counsell and Gwynn already were in the game... what could we do differently?

 

Try to throw out Aramis Ramirez when he is stealing a base and putting himself in scoring position?

oh, gotcha, thought you meant getting Weeks outta there and maybe even Braun.

Do we have to use every reliever every night? Is there a rule that righties can't get lefties out?

Of course they can. But Shouse is a LOOGY that can go basically everyday and you have the oppositions best lefthanded hitter up late in a close game. There is no reason not to take advantage of that matchup.

 

 

But we have two outs and the tying run is still on deck with a weak hitting (powerwise) lefty at the plate with a righty behind him. We've already used four pitchers and if Fukudome gets on against Shouse we now have to burn a righty to finish the inning. Add Gagne in the ninth and we've used seven pitchers in a three run win. It seems to me that if we have to use a specialist to get every batter out in a 'tight' situation, we will wear out the pen by June.
