There was a scene in the Indians game earlier tonight when the bases were loaded with two outs and Chase Utley was at-bat. Logic would be "All right, let's go with a lefty/lefty match-up," but with the way Utley has been hitting lefties (just a mere .400 BA) it may be a better bet to send in a righty.
Eric Wedge skipped on th second and went with the first, but that isn't even the problem! The problem is the person he brought in to face Chase Utley.
First, you have Reafel Perez who was been completly dominant. In just 18 innings (since being called up in the beginning of June) the rookie has struck out 20 and walked only 3 with an ERA of 1.00.
Then, you have the "veteran" Aaron Fultz who, in 18 innings, has struck out 18 and walked 9 with and ERA of 1.93.
Guess which one Wedge went with? If you guessed Aaron Fultz, the go collect your prize because that is exactly who he went with and guess what happened? Three runs scored putting the Indians out of the game for good.
Then it got even worse when he put in Roberto Hernandez, who is the worst pitcher the game has ever seen.
At this point, I think I would be a better manager.

i think is strange to see a young woman talking about baseball (or fotball, i dont remember) but the strangest is a human been in usa with fernando cabrera in his preferences.
