As a reward he was DFA'd today! Holy Crikey, he looked like a HOFer last night! I can’t believe that. What a miracle shot in the dark for the Rats for him to shut down the best offense in baseball like he did. He had already signed a contract for a team in Japan before they called him up, so the dfa was already planned. Plus I'm pretty sure we were just way off last night. |

I read that from the link, it's bizarre, why would the Rats risk throwing him in there against the best offense in baseball in a tight game halfway through? That's just crazy, and the guy gave them a chance to win. |

I have no idea what they were thinking.. what he was thinking... what anyone was thinking. |

It was a Snitkerism--make the worst tactical choice you could possibly make, and have it work, out of some bizarre miraculous luck.
It's like the Rays asked Snitker how he does it, and he said well, here's what you do and they did it.
