#665@SDSUBaseball: Another position player instead of the 12th pitcher / 7th reliever. You wouldn’t use Morton to run for Clark because it was too likely that the pitcher’s spot would come up that inning. But if you didn’t carry 7 relievers, there’d had been an extra person, probably an infielder, to PR for Clark.

Looking back, they could have pinch-ran with Germano or Meredith. But the 12 man staff is an abomination when you play almost 100 games in three of the best pitcher’s parks in the NL.

#396@Kevin: Really? We should keep a 7 man bullpen because we have to anticipate that our 3rd base coach will forget he’s being paid to know who is running, and because in the same game the home plate umpire will have a capricious strike zone?

If we have another player on the bench, that player pinch-runs for Clark and this game goes in the W column.

Our #1, 2, 4, and 5 hitters went 2 for 32 with 3 walks and a sacrifice bunt. Oh, they struck out 9 times and left 10 men on base.
In contrast, the pitchers went 2 for 6.
