Least valuable brave was fredi gonzalez last night. Venters probably wasn’t available, but eof or avilan should have come in to face duda. Could have narrowed the division deficit to three games. Now the wild card is all but assured.
But what if they both got hurt? Then who would you pitch in the 8th when a lefty came up?
Not bringing in EOF to face Duda was dumb, but intentionally putting the go-ahead run on base before Duda hit was even dumber.
