In the interest of time, I really didn't address the other options that Mattingly had. I probably should have emphasized that it wasn't Guerrier's fault because it was Mattingly that put him in. I know you think that Mattingly had better options than Guerrier to put in there. Probably so, but one thing that had to be in the back of his mind was. 1) Guerrier in the loss to Arizona, gave up the homer to Kubel and 2) then looked impressive in retiring the next three hitters, two by strike out. I guess he though that a two run lead was enough cushion for him. We now know how obviously wrong he was.<br /><br />Now had he brought in Belisario and League back to back, things might have turned out better. Then again, maybe not due to the fatigue factor. I'm disappointed that the Dodgers haven't stacked the bullpen with more options for him now with the expanded rosters. The 40 man is loaded and a guy like Uribe continues to take a spot when some young strong arms could be up helping the big club.Evan Bladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00882462203403645860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969719124137500057.post-16239287297033369052012-09-05T11:57:37.397-07:002012-09-05T11:57:37.397-07:00Kind of ironic that you and I wrote about the exac...Kind of ironic that you and I wrote about the exact same thing (at about the exact same time) but with an entirely different perspective, Evan. Don Mattingly did have a choice and, in my opinion, he blew it.fansince53https://www.blogger.com/profile/00137438556901227935noreply@blogger.com
