Bottom of the ninth....down by one run....bases loaded....two outs....

WHY oh WHY pinch hit for Nick Johnson???? :umm :hmm: :angry: :cry:

Hindsight is always 20/20, and Sierra does have good career numbers against Buddy Groom, but will Joe EVER learn to trust NJ? First there was the Zeile-platoon thing, now pinch-hitting for him in clutch situations??? It's almost as if Joe's on a mission to stunt Nick's development :(

There are certain players that you shouldn't mess with regardless of the situation. I think Nick has reached that level.

Thats kind of supriseing. Nick is a good line drive hitter and a guy who can knock it over the wall no prob. Like you said Milkey I don't see how Joe is helping his development. HE has to be more open to the rookies.
