But again, Peralta hasn't pitched in a week. I think it is completely justifiable to expect a rusty appearance from Freddy there, and bringing him in with a runner at 3B is just asking for it. It isn't like he is coming in on normal rest and mental prosperity. He was inactive for a week, and his mind was more than likely on his new born and wife most of that week. I stand by my complaint, Peralta should not have been used with a runner on 3B and no outs. That was an obvious Williams situation. And I stand by my position. Williams comes in and strikes out the side, and you still have 6 innings to fill. The fact that Peralta was the choice says something about the other options. Maybe Yardley or Knebel if the goal is to try to get out of the third inning, but not Williams who you know you’re going to need if you have a chance to win at the end. Interesting that some would rather save Williams for a potential use later on than a guaranteed need.
