Give Snit credit for sending in the pinch hitter. Folty had at least another inning in him, but we needed runs, and Folty isn't walking on 4 pitches like Tucker.

But I guess hindsight is 20-20. If Tucker strikes out, I'm probably cussing Snit for pulling Folty too early.
They called Snits bluff and he didnt back down. I'll give him credit.

We win tonight and we clinch being better than the 1899 Cleveland Spiders(already clinched more wins, we'd clinch the better winning percentage if we hold on)

Snit double switched out Bautista, finally a DoubleSwitch I can get behind.

I really want to be patient, but man, there's a better option on the bench right now.

Flaherty and Culberson are both better options. When Dansby gets back, Camargo is a better option too.

Terrible with the glove, and an RBI groundout is the only productive thing he's done for us since came up.

He's 37 and coming off of back to back mediocre at best seasons.

I hope he turns it around, because I want what's best for the team, but the odds are against it. I just wonder how long his leash will be.

He provides nothing but name value.

Bet that would have ate Bautista up.

And when Dansby gets back their will be 3 better options on the bench. (Flaherty,Camargo,and Culberson)

He's a guy that hit over 300 homers with the Blue Jays, including a 54 home run season. But he's old now, and hasn't been good in over 2 years now.

Our new GM built the Blue Jays. I guess he wanted a nostalgia piece for himself.

I've trashed Flaherty a good bit wanting more playing time for Camargo, but with Dansby out, Flaherty has done nothing to lose his job, especially to a guy that has done nothing to earn the starting 3B job other than name power.
