As must as no one likes it, over the course of a season you are going to have to use average pitchers in higher leverage situations.
Today was one of those days.
With a 3 run lead vs. the Cubs, it wasn't a bad time to use Ondrusek. He didn't get the job done, it's on him.

On the brighter side, maybe BP can extend his hitting streak now
Double switch.
Hoover in to pitch, Lutz in left
Not a good start. Barney doubles to left center.
The location of these pitches... Geezus.
Rounding third and heading for home...
A good way to start the inning.
Can't believe Dusty didn't have someone warming to replace Hoover and pitch to Barney. Preposterous!

Hoover is rusty. Dusty hasn't pitched him enough.
Btw....I still say we win this game. :O)
