I confess I don't understand not PH him there. He had no clue up there in his previous at bats.

Just absolutely an insane decision by coach to let him hit. I love Can but that was the stupidest **** I've ever seen.

I thought he was for sure bunting because he was actually being allowed to hit. There's no way anybody can defend his decision. Just Stupid!!!!

If he was going to bat, he should have bunted. Otherwise, he had about .01% chance of doing anything productive there.

It's about his defense. This game is tight as balls. We've had our chances. Top of the order needs to come through for us.

How great do you need your right fielder to be defensively? I can't remember Poole making any amazing plays.

Really? really? Poole has struck out against girls throwing underhanded!! He never should have faced Lange once this series, let alone tonight. I am 65 and I could strike out Poole. There is no way we had a coach recruit that guy. No 17ing way!!!'

He has made some good plays. But we have other OFs. It's not like it's either Poole or Wes Rea out there.

I cannot believe we let Poole screw up maybe the only chance we get vs Lange...

He's a good defender, but so was Brant Blaylock. Now Poole is approaching Blaylock levels of offensive ineptitude. Time to make a change again.

To be fair, Poole has made several outstanding plays in RF this year that MacNamee would not have made. That said, we should have PH in that situation. You've got to come away with something there, and Poole had no chance of making anything happen.

^ which makes it even worse. Pinch hit for Poole there. Then if you really need defense, put Blaylock in the OF later. Problem solved.

Simple question, # of critical plays to be made in RF vs number of critical AB's Poole has each game? There's got to be a DH on the bench that can out hit Poole or Elijah
