Robby Martin was on deck and hitting .332

Mendoza was hitting .319.
If we didn't want to give up a home run, then yeah, we should've walked him, but a base hit won that game, and of the two, there was more of a chance that Martin got it.
Now, if you want to be mad at Paul defending a decision, it should be him saying he agreed with Watson trying to take second. That was such a dumb move. We went from Beloso needing to just hit a fly ball to Beloso needing a basehit.

And Mendoza has like 69 strikeouts. The guy on deck doesn’t strikeout that much. Garza missing that fastball hurt us a lot honestly

He’s a freshman. He was hitting .250 in the postseason.
He WASNT drafted in the 3rd round of the MLB draft for his bat.

But why pitch to him with Devin instead of a new pitcher? Kid was gassed & Pawl stretched him way further than he should have.

Not another pitch to their best hitter because they have a freshman on deck hitting 320 thread.
Walk the guy, it was an obvious decision to make. No justification at all to pitch to Mendoza.

You walk him to create the force at 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

What’s Mendoza and Martin’s post season numbers? I’ll help, Mendoza was over .400 and Martin under .300
Mendoza is a second round draftee, Martin is a freshman.
Come on, man.

1. Martin makes more outs than Mendoza.
2. Mendoza makes more hard contact than Martin.
3. Martin is a freshman while Mendoza is an upperclassman.
4. Walking Mendoza sets up a force play at 3 bases whereas you only have 1 play with Mendoza batting.

Just stop Dude. Mainieri knows he is wrong about pitching to their best hitter. 1st base was open. It's 2 outs. It's an easy no call but he's hard headed just like Leslie Miles was and his hard head will eventually cost him his job too. End of story.

So many people being exposed tonight that have never played an inning of baseball. Winning run on second with first open, right on left matchup with a righty on deck, great postseason/experienced hitter at the plate, and walking the guy gives you a force out at 3 bases. Not that fricking hard people...

These threads late in the night grasping at straws to try to justify a COMPLETELY unjustifiable decision should be deleted. In NO, NONE, NOT ONE, NEVER EVER, do you pitch to that kid. And despite Paul being a complete out of touch dumbass, DF almost pulled off the improbable.

People keep making this argument and it's stupid. Walking Mendoza sets up a force everywhere. Martin was a right handed hitter to face fontenot as opposed to the lefty Mendoza. Martin was 0-4 this game and has struggled in the post season. There were many more reasons to walk him than to pitch to Mendoza just cause his season average is 13 points lower which is completely negligible over the course of the season. With those averages being what and what I'm pitching to the guy whose been struggling especially since every other metric favors walking Mendoza there.

Martin looked like poop the whole game. You also want to set up the force.
Posted on 6/9/19 at 10:53 pm to Broski
2 outs. You could have walked them both for that matter.
Dipshit baserunning put us there.
Geezus. What does that guy coaching third actually do?

not much different in average.
i rather pitch to martin with a force at any base

Setup the force out at any base. Regardless who is up it is just more sound logic to take stress off the entire infield by having a force out everywhere. At least that’s my take. Mendoza or Martin who cares setup the force outs to give a higher percentage chance of closing out the inning.
