Actually I think its because Charlie Manuel thought he saw the pizza delivery guy out on the field and he went out of the dugout trying to flag him down. Unfortunately for Charlie the umpire told him there was no pizza guy and he had to make a pitching change because he already waved in the pitcher. Charlie's response was probably "what pitcher," not realizing there was actually a pitcher warming up. This is what happens when a manager is inflicted with alzheimers and mad-cow.
Definately one to forget for Hamels owners. Okay, Cleveland has some dangerous hitters, so it was probably reasonable to expect some runs scored. But a 3-run HR from the backup catcher? Are you kidding me?
I am the Master. Don't question the Master. Just do what he says and be proud.

The back up catcher is has been hot lately tho so, I was 50/50 in starting Hamel yesterday. But the ESPN guys talked me into it with their Fantasy podcast. Damn Matthew Barry, screw me over big time!!
