No offense but Bob Melvin is a complete idiot. 2 outs, 2 on and the D Bags down by two, catcher Miguel Montero and his .227 batting average due up. Tony Clark on the bench. Tony Clark who has killed the Padres in the past with clutch home runs (He’s hitting .333 with 3 home runs in 19 plate appearances against the Pads this year). So of course Melvin lets Montero hit, Montero who has never faced Trevor. I’d like to know what batters hit against Trevor the first time they see him. It’s got to be below .150. What makes it even worse is Trevor was really struggling with location again, he left a lot of pitches up in the zone. I was ready to change the channel because I didn’t want to see Clark hit the game winning home run. Wow. That has to be one of the worst non-moves I’ve ever seen.
I didn’t get a chance to post my predictions for tonight, which is too bad because I was spot on. I was going to predict 7 scoreless innings for Hernandez but Melvin would leave him in a little too long. I was also going to predict Greene wouldn’t even touch a Hernandez pitch, he at least made contact so I’m happy to be wrong there. I wouldn’t have predicted the Blummer dinger though.

I read somewhere that Clark had concussion-like symptoms that night due to some accident at home. That explains a really odd move I guess.
