re: Caleb Gilbert was our closer

I'm not sure it was the plan for Lange to go 5, bbap. So why not let Newman close the gap if he's doing so well in a 1-run game?

man, you can second guess his pitching moves all you want. it's fair game after a loss. but to pretend that PM lost that game BECAUSE of his pitching moves is just wrong. on one hand you anoint this kid gilbert the closer in the seventh inning and then you bash PM for putting him in over newman.

we lost that game because we can't fricking hit. our clean up hitter pops up with a guy on 3rd and one out. we had NUMMEROUS chances to score WITHOUT EVEN GETTING A HIT and fricked up EVERY TIME. that is the story of the game, not PM and his moves.

the only move I would question is why he didn't pinch hit for Breaux in the 9th. the kid is not ready to start.
