The problem wasn't pitching to him, it was throwing him a freaking 88mph non-mover up and across the plate.

The first problem was using Estrada here in the first place but I guess most managers make that mistake. It is the heart of the order in a game where you can't afford anymore runs, use Saito for this inning. It isn't like you are going to wear out the bullpen with a travel day tomorrow.

Just... intentionally walk him please. Don't mess around.

Yeah because putting runners on in front of Holliday and Berkman could never backfire

Pitch count was 2-0 when I typed that. Holliday grounds into quite a bit of DPs. And Pujols has killed us tonight. I'm willing to take a chance on Holliday.

Would have liked to see a pinch hitter for Marcum in the 2nd with 2 guys on (and maybe 3 if Lucroy's approach would have changed with a pinch hitter on deck). Then again, McGehee is a worse hitter than Marcum at this point.
That would have been ludicrous to PH for Marcum in the 2nd.

I put this as much on Roenicke as I do Estrada. Shouldn't even be in and he probably shouldn't have pitched to Pujols.
This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.

I agree. It's hard to fault Roenicke when 98% of managers would make that mistake.

Slightly related (and might not matter)....is Saito available tonight? Is he good to pitch on back to back nights?

We should have gone to Narvy. He needs to get ready to start game 6.
Fully agree. A change in pitchers was warranted. Pulling Marcum earlier could have been a chance to get Narveson 2-3 innings of work. With Narveson not having started in a while--and with a chance he might be more effective than Marcum as a starter--he could have used the innings.

I just hid all the "game over" comments and replies.

 

Now that all the debbie downers went to bed, it's just the optimistic people here I guess.
