here's a question for you, and it's gonna catch some serious flack, but that's tough. In the bottom of the ninth, when Manuel walked Billy Hall to get at Jenkins and the lefty on lefty matchup, would you have thought about possibly pulling back Jenks and using (if he was available) Hart? What about Cirillio? I can't think of who else was on the bench, but I'm just wondering about Geoff and his well known struggles against lefties. Yeah, I know it turned out that he crushed the snot out of the ball and won the game, but what if? Put yourself in that moment and look at the numbers. Going into tonight's game, Geoff had 36 AB's against left handers and was hitting only .167 with 6 hits, 5 BB, and 17 K's and 2 GIDP's. Cirillio had 8 AB's vs. lefties with a .500 BA. I don't have Hart's numbers vs. Lefties from the minors, but he had only 2 AB's vs them as a big leaguer. I'll admit the fact that Jenks was having a good game, but I just wanna find out your thoughts. Look again at Geoff's numbers, and think about it a bit more. Now look at this: With 2 or more RISP, Jenkins is hitting .364 in 11 AB's With less than 2 RISP, Geoff is hitting .227 in 22 attempts. A. Rhodes (L) came into the game with a 3.46 ERA, 13 hits allowed in 13 innings 5 ER, 10 BB (1 IBB) and 15 K's. Opponents were hitting .260 against him.
