Why let the equivalent of a pitcher hit in the ninth?

I would have preferred Gallardo pinch hit instead of letting Kendall flail away meekly up there.  I understand that the Brewers have a rookie backing him up.  I get that.  How bout we cross that bridge when we tie the game?  At least give the damn team a chance to tie it late in games.  The Brewers are not good enough to give away an out in the ninth inning down a run. 

I'm sort of warming on Macha but this Kendall shit has to stop.  He's had his chance, Macha has given him more than a month to adjust to his (how is it even possible?) constantly slowing bat speed.  He can't.  He is terrible.  Put someone up there who at least has a snowball's chance in hell of tying the baseball game.

The Staff Handler also contributed to the loss when he couldn't stop Braden Looper's wild pitch, allowing Micah Owings to score from third. Bleh.

Owings was out at 3rd.

That's what the radio said too, but I haven't seen it.

Seemed incredibly obvious to me. My wife ran into the office thinking I had smashed my computer when they called him safe.
