Their best hitter was on deck and Mendoza was their biggest strike out machine this season?

Their best hitter was standing in the batters box.

You mean the guy on deck deck hitting under .300? With 2ks today? And the guy at the plate batting who was just drafted in the 3rd round?

Still the right call is to walk him. More good things than bad.

Yes. He didn’t want to take fontenot out. If he intentionally walks him Fontenot is coming out the game

Not saying he was correct but I believe that was the reasoning

I’m sure the dorks that go out to fall ball will give us a reason why

Walking the next two batters and having a force out at any base is a better option than pitching to 2nd round Pick Mendoza in that situation.

Meanwhile, CPM is busy throwing his hands up in the dugout and getting super red faced.

Stupid as hell.

Mendoza was 24 points better than Martin in conference, but don't let that stop you and Lester from defending it.

That’s not a given and makes no sense.

Jesus. Y’all are like flies on a dead body as I said in another thread, I probably would have walked him.

Mendoza has a lot of strikeouts. Their batter on deck is just as good and strikesout a lot less. Pick your poison. Facts are facts but like usual many of you will continue to ignore facts

I know it looks bad but Garza catches that ball and we arent even discussing this.

Are we? So they've got runners on 1st and 3rd with two outs. No guarantee we get out of that either.
