This was the part that really pissed me off. Soto was available, who has been arguably our best hitter, Soriano was available who has been swinging the bat well, both are everyday players, and instead Chad Tracy trots up there with a bat? what the FUCK?! I knew right then the inning was over.

I would have used Soto too. This whole notion of it being a "gamble" to use your catcher on the bench to pinch hit is really irritating, especially the way Soto is swinging the bat and being selective at the plate.
