It really was heartbreaking. Such a good team and a great season wasted. I don't hold it against Storen. Just a rough outing. I have to put a lot of the blame on Davy Johnson - he should have pulled Gonzalez in the 5th inning. I know he wanted him to qualify for the win, but Gio couldn't find the strike zone again. The 2 runs he walked in were crucial. Should have brought a reliever in to take over & try to get them out of the trouble they were in. Oh well... There's always next year...

Davey absolutely should have had someone warming up in the 5th inning. Gio was struggling big time. That was a huge mistake in my opinion. He started to lose it in the 4th, but got out of it. That should have told Davey something right there. Originally Posted by The_Great_8

They either would have had to have Motte hit if they wanted him to pitch in the 9th or pinch hit for him. Either way it would have been a better option to pitch to the #9 spot. They probably would have used a pinch hitter, but that takes Motte out of the 9th. That seems like a huge mistake. At that point the game is still tied and all we would need is one swing in the bottom of the inning to walk off again.
