this is hilarious...12th inning, 2 outs, bases loaded...he has the pitcher up who has 1 career at bat, yes 1... and 1 bench player left. he keeps the pitcher in and he easily strikes out. unreal. this is the same guy that batted his pitcher 8th, which is by far the most ignorant premeditated sports move ive ever seen. i guess tony loves his pitchers batting...i can't believe he is in the mlb.

fukkin hate lawyersComment -
Makes sense, only 1 bench player left....they are in it for the long haul...not trying to win one game at all costs...Comment -
I'd like to know why he just pulled a lefty pitcher with a lefty batter coming up for a righty pitcher????Comment -
Not a big fan of Larussa either in generalComment -
he is an alcoholic scumbagComment -
Castillo is a switch hitter not a lefty ..Originally posted by BluehorseshoeComment -
Why pull the pitcher then? It doesn't matter.Originally posted by gryfyn1
Now LaRussa is sending up another pitcher to pinch hit with the bases loaded.Comment -
And he strikes out looking. Nice job Tony.

what's the sense of saving the bench player? lol...it makes no sense, the announcers are baffled, everyone is baffled...Originally posted by Naz18Comment -
That pitcher was already in the game. He is finishing up basically with only Franklin left.Originally posted by Bluehorseshoe
Unreal how they did not score, but the Mets have had a pretty good bullpen to start the season. Their bats though.

McGuire has no clue about how to bunt and did not go over it with the team in spring training. McGuire is a joke of a hitting coach anyways lifetime batting average .263
if he didn't hit a home run he struck out.

Isn't the last guy the backup catcher?Originally posted by remmy358
It's all about injuries and what not...why risk something when you don't have too..Comment -
lol...you play the game to win. you can afford to risk putting albert pujols out there everyday but the back up catcher is sacred?Originally posted by Naz18
and if i have to watch jose reyes get out another time i'm gonna shoot someone. this chump sucks.Comment -
And they say soccer is boring because they don't score goals. These two numbnut teams can't score a run after playing for 6 hours already.Comment -
Backup catchers typically are not very good hitters, I don't know a whole lot about the Cardinals in depth. But maybe that pitcher hit decently in college or something, quite a few pitchers were good hitters when they were young.
If any position player gets an injury your screwed, it's not about protecting the backup, it's about protecting you players you already have out there (Pujols for ex)Comment -

also lost how many world series with the better team on paper every time
4 times his teams won 100 or more games and never won anything - the guy is a joke- swept by the reds in 1990

what about the rp that was minor league catcher of the year because of his fielding and arm, heck if he could hit they would of kept him at catcher, he couldnt hit shitComment -
Two faults with Tony from me..
1. Why didn't he pinch hit Wainwright? Prolly a .250+ hitter all time and easily the best hitting pitcher on the Cards.
2. Why the **** did he call a hit and run with Albert at bat?Comment
