Why pinch hit for a kid that's having a solid day?

I understand the L vs. R but Jack has to take some of the blame on that one.

Don't mind the pinch hit, but i think Bradley is the more logical choice there.

Funny how Jack is being criticized for starting Gibson and Pinch hitting for him in the same thread.

That is what I was thinking too at the time. I called a

friend and said I wouldn't pinch hit for him. He had just missed about three hits the last two days that were just foul. He hit a liner for an out today too. He was due. I feel like the Noles were really fortunate to win two games. But, I'll trade'em those two for two this week.

why not pinch hit for a guy with no confidence and hiting at a .150 pace and then pitch hitting for a guy that has hit the ball hard on his first two at bats. Some times I don't understand Jack. Jay Baum has been awful this year. All you Jack lovers will td me, but I don't care.

I think Lecroy over thought the match up. I think him striking out the last time up with bases loaded had something to do with the decision as well.

Re: Why pinch hit ?? Cause we hadnt done #### in 2 days..

Needed some sort of spark...any spark.
And the guy who couldn't put down the bunt or the slap bunt yesterday....watched 3rd strikes TWICE today...
Jack might sit him the next game too , if he doesn't get his head out his A$$. If we go from hitting to hoping for a walk...we really are toast.

I did not agree with the choice. Baum has not hit all year.
Hoever this was just one of many cases where we could not even deliver a productive out. A terrible day situationally as a team. In baseball there are days like this.
