Another Man's Theory
And Jason Van Meetren had his own opinion of Yuma manager Mike Marshall's decision being mulled heavily in Arizona this morning to pull the indomitable White in favor of Stephens to shut the door on the Outlaws in the ninth inning. Van Meetren, those who were there or listening will remember, crushed a double off Stephens to begin the three-run rally delivering the 3-2 win.
Van Meetren, who was hitless against low-velocity White before getting on against Stephens, said this in response when asked if the same results would have been delivered had White been left in:
"Absolutely, that was our inning. It wouldn't have been any different if (White) was still in. The game was over either way. There was no stopping us at that point."
