You are down two runs. After the Jeff Francoeur single, Sosa struck Matt Diaz out swinging. Automatically, you should deem Prado as the last batter Jorge Sosa will face no matter what with the lefty to follow. Sure enough, Sosa walks Martin Prado to load the bases. The left-handed Kelly Johnson comes to the plate and cranks one deep over the wall. Where was Pedro Feliciano to pitch to the lefty? He hasn’t pitched since Wednesday, so it’s not like he would be unavailable for that reason.
Vintage Willie in this respect. Failure to use the bullpen correctly.
