Maton has stuff… just no role. Its his fault, for sure… but with this big of a division lead (not too worried about #1 seed), now is the time to try and solidify/optimize.
I think the decision was fine to pull Urquidy. The problem was why are you going to Montero on back to back games after he struggled in the last one? Neris or Stanek is more than capable of getting the third out.
Montero has been excellent all season. He's allowed this dud but there has also been signs of fatigue. Dusty doin' Dusty things.
No you do not pull urquidy on a little blooper down the 3rd base line when he was pitching well all game in no way is that the right decision
La Russa probably laughing at Dusty for being an idiot and pulling his pitcher with 2 outs just to bring in a BP pitcher.
