I'm sorry but a 5 year old could have anticipated Pittsburgh pinch hitting Ozuna for Lowe in that spot. If our manager couldn't see that coming it's a huge red flag. The point is you cannot keep using Zerpa in leverage spots when he's incapable of getting RHH out. He either needs to be in a low to mid leverage LOOGY type role or he needs to be in AAA. 

He's an absolute disaster right now and is costing us games. Has giving up a run or allowed an inherited runner to score in 7 of his 9 outings in April. 

Yeah, I suspect they would usually/always hit for Lowe there. The other options were Hall, or Megill facing four LHH in a row. I don't disagree with you, I just don't like A, B, OR C.

I think the big mistake was using Uribe in the 9th inning against 7-8-9 in the order. Burning him there left you with no ideal pitcher against the top of the order in the 10th. Could have sent Ashby out for another inning or used Anderson/Megill in the 9th to avoid that situation. Using Uribe there was the type of rigid bullpen use I thought we were getting rid of.

I can get on board with that. And Megill was up previously, too.

Black hitting cleanup? 

 

I'm starting to get tired of Murphy's impulsive, panicky new ideas.  Also, Greg Jones is not MLB ready.
