Yeah--Tuivailala has been up and down--hot and cold-- hasn't been a consistent game end guy

Matheny didn't have much choice-- he had already pitched Oh NO and Lyons in the 8th and then went with Rosenthal....and we saw how that went--Bowman may have been all he had left that he had any confidence in

Bowman is the ground ball guy that Matheny uses when they need a DP

He is the last guy I'd use as a closer but sometimes the circus ends on a good note

Don't know if Matheny drinks but this team might be a good reason to start

Wait! That may be it! AB sales were lagging so they told Matheny to manage like this and Cards Nation drinks more! BRILLIANT!!
It's as reasonable as any other explanation..
