McKenry was traded with a future trade to be determined. I suppose that could have eventually been Hanrahan. When Hanrahan was All Star material. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out so well.
boring game in a sense. Few-mid-inning pitching changes, few pinch-hitters.
The only NL managerial move during an inning was McCutchen pinch-running.
The only AL managerial move during an inning was Pedroia for the injured Cano and Hunter pinch-hit ... and then the Holland-Cecil-Delabar 7th inning.
The only purpose Zobrist served was to pinch-run for Fielder ... and Leyland could not pull the trigger. Maybe he didn’t want it cuz been 2 years since Zobrist played 1B.
When he yanked Delabar after one batter to go to Mariano, Leyland was playing the risk card again on running out of pitchers ... if Mariano-Nathan blew the save and Perkins came in ... and extra innings, Masterson & Tillman was all he had left.
They will run out of pitchers in the 15th no matter how much they expand the rosters.
