yikes i didn't even see this post when i made mine and i agree that it was odd that almora didn't come into the OF in the 9th I know it doesn't make much sense but maybe Joe was thinking that leaving Zorbrist in LF just in case the Giants tied it up or took the lead (gasp) in the 9th. Ben was due up 4th in the bottom half? Maybe wanted his bat just in case over Almora? Still Almora being out there is supposed to prevent the Giants from tying it up so while typing this it makes even less sense. I doubt Almora makes that play on Pousy's shot but he might have with his speed and it would have been a spectacular play. I kind of considered that as well. Almora just has the far-superior OF instincts and might have made that a closer play at 2B at the least. What you sacrifice by (in possibility of a tie or worse) having him in the lineup is his plate discipline, obviously is terrible compared to Zo but he would likely put the ball in play, not be succeptible to the shift, and has the benefit (to a small degree) of having a limited scouting report. Hope Joe starts going that route.
