[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] WTF pinch run for Varitek [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, because we won't need him in the extra innings. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] am I being leveled here? [/ QUOTE ] Pinch running for Varitek would have been a bad move. There were already two outs and if the game goes a couple of more innings who would you rather have bat: a 4 year old with a wiffle bat or Mirabelli? craig [/ QUOTE ] 1. Varitek's spot in the lineup is very unlikely to come up again, so there is almost zero cost offensively. 2. You don't lose all that much, if anything, having Mirabelli in defensively vs. Varitek for a couple of innings. (isn't Mirabelli generally considered a better defensive catcher, anyway?) If you're worried about not having Varitek in there to call pitches, certainly that could be worked around. 3. Fenway is a park where runners often don't score from 2nd on singles, so it pays to have a fast runner. An extra step or two could potentially be huge on a play at the plate. Having said that, I'm not sure they had any fast players runners left on the bench. But, if they did, I can't see not pinchrunning here.
