Well that has to be one of the most stupid and senseless handling of the pen I've seen.

Impossible to explain all the other options that were available beyond the course that Matheney decided upon.

But maybe I'm being too hard on him. Maybe he suffered a mild stroke in the 7th when the confusion began....and then had another one, the big one, in the tenth disabling him from raising his hand to pull the guy who never should have been in the tenth to begin with.
