Ortiz could be the slowest player in baseball. You need to have someone available to pinch run for him.<br /><br />I'd say Girardi couldn't have pinch hit for Buck because he wouldn't have had a catcher, but there are so many weird re-entry rules for the ASG that I'm not even sure that's true. <br /><br />Verducci made a good point that Girardi should not have put ARod on the team and then sat him for the entire game. Find some way to use him or take someone else. As it turned out, Cody Ransom would have been a better pick. He could have pinch run for Ortiz.Rich Mahoganynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-70782456217235452432010-07-14T12:41:29.964-07:002010-07-14T12:41:29.964-07:00Yeah, its bad that the AL lost its domination over...Yeah, its bad that the AL lost its domination over the NL with Girardi managing the game. I think it raises question on whether he loyalties still lie with the Marlins as some have suspected.Fernando Alejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051242696406856273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315155203706829641.post-958901668187279322010-07-14T11:50:35.841-07:002010-07-14T11:50:35.841-07:00Ahahahah this post is awesome.

But taking out Mauer and Cano in the fifth inning is completely fine.<br /><br />Stupid exhibition game counting for something >:(lady gaganonymoushttp://twitter.com/rebexaramanoreply@blogger.com
