I almost lost my s*** at that mindless decision. Here’s the wonder-moron’s response, taken from a Bill Ladson article:
Montoyo never thought about walking Harper to load the bases and instead pitching to Alec Bohm, who is hitting .326 as a rookie after Friday's action.
“The guy on deck has been their best hitter over the last three weeks,” Montoyo said.
That’s right. The guy on deck has been their best hitter in the past 3 weeks. Never mind the completely obvious RH/Lh thing, the fact that’s Harper can hit any pitch 500 feet, whose GB rate gains RHP isn’t likely, that there was a base open to set up the double play with what would have been a right on right matchup with a guy who throws sinkers, Who has a 50% gb rate against a guy Who has a 50% gb rate and who DID hit a ground ball against him that very likely could have been two, or maybe only 1 at worst if the DP wasn’t turned.
Yup, he’s been their best hitter over the past three weeks.
f***ing idiot needs to be fired the millisecond this season is over and I almost hope the Jays lose every game for the rest of the season if it would guarantee his firing
