2009-06-27 Giants (Zito) at Milwaukee (McClung) : 6:05 PM CT [Brewers win, 7-6]


If I had to guess, maybe he wanted to save Gerut as a left-handed pinch hit bat just in case the game went into extras? Kendall seemed like an odd choice to pinch run, but after using Cat earlier in the game I think Gerut and Kendall may have been the only guys left on the bench and he wanted to save the better hitter for a possible pinch hit appearance...I could be wrong, though.

Kendall was only put in because of Counsell being shaken up. He took one off the toe, and he's had sore knees apparently.

 

Isnt Gerut good for anything? Kendall running? How about Narveson? Hopefully he wouldnt have had Kendall out there if we were down by one!

No. Clearly, Gerut's good for nothing.

 

Actually, I'm not sure whether or not I should use blue, there.

Keep in mind that not only did Counsell foul one off his toe, but he also got roughed up on that double play turn last night. Uke speculated that Counsell might be pinch run for because of that. Apparently, his ankle was sore.

 

As for Gerut not running, it is almost assuredly because Macha wanted a lefty available to hit. SF only had right-handers left in the pen.

I too was at the game, it was looking bleak a couple of different times, but was an entertaining game with an excellent result.
