I don't dislike Pillar. He has given us some valuable AB's and pretty good defense late in games. He just needs to be a bench piece, not a designated starter against LHP. He's an insurance policy... no more. That's exactly right, I don't dislike him at all, he's just been given too big of a role on a team that has such a great chance to win it all. It's Snit's thing--take marginal or AAAA players and overuse them. It was Grossman last year. There is always at least one guy like that. Pillar was great for us the first several months, but if you give a career .700 OPS guy enough time he will come back to his normal self, which is a marginal player/backup role. He only has about a .770 OPS against LHP, it's not like he kills them. All things point to him being over his head, the high leverage numbers and playoff numbers, but he's being used over a guy who has the high leverage and playoff numbers that show he's going to come through in the clutch way more than even an average everyday player. It's just sheer stupidity. But who is surprised by it? It's a normal Snitker move.

Which is what we should do. Often times this year we've lost to bad teams and even lost several series to them, and even when we win sometimes it's a battle, like tonight.

Now Snitker is going to feel like he did the right thing since Pillar got the run in on a short fly to the OF
