I don't understand that move at all. I get he's playing the matchup, but to not only go with the guy who has had a brutal month, but burn a guy who has had a pretty good month to do it, just not a smart move. It's not even like Santana has brutal R/R splits.

 

Counsell overthought it, for sure.

 

It is things like this that when the game is over, CC has to regret his decision.

Thames is useless on defense so may as well use him early

 

That is a key observation. Everyone else has way more utility as a defender.

 

Meanwhile, Cedeno walks Carp on 4 straight. Guess we're pulling teeth tonight after scoring 7 runs in 5 innings. Hooray...

On one hand, I understand Thames hitting there. If he jacks one out, that is 4 more runs to add to the total.

 

On the other hand, put a guy in who at least makes contact, or can hit a darn flyball to the outfield.

 

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

You could tell from last nights interview that Counsell feels bad for Thames. He said it more than once how happy he was about last night. He reacted with his heart sending him up there when his head probabaly said otherwise. It could be a big mistake.

 

I feel bad for the guy too, but...
