Yep, the worst thing you can have with bases loaded and one out is a guy coming up that is a near automatic strikeout against a strikeout pitcher. Heck, if there was ever a time to do a safety squeeze or something it was then. About the only chance Poole had to make contact would have been a bunt. I don't understand with all the outfielders we have why he is playing. He strikes out about as much as Blaylock but at least we quit playing him.
