Probably because it was determined prior to the game that he needed a full day of rest and relaxation.

The game’s been over for 10 minutes and I’m still pissed. Shelton continues to cost this team games by his hare-brained decisions. If he already isn’t, BC needs to be thinking about making a change. This guy can’t remain here. The players are limited as it is, they can’t have a knucklehead in charge...

Shelton decides to pitch to Morel and gets burned as he singles home Bellinger. Stupid frickin’ decision. Over nine innings, it’s hard to pin a loss on one play or player, but not this time. This loss is squarely on Shelton.

#%@&*#$@ Bellinger. Ground rule double. Morel’s up. Put him on.

Suzuki flies out. Here comes Bellinger.

Bednar in to pitch the 9th.

Gonzales strikes out on three pitches. That was too easy for Neris. Gotta hold ‘em and then it’s beer league softball time.

Oliveras strikes out. Up to Gonzales.

Neris into pitch for the Cubs. Joe flies out to start the 9th.

Bobster, Bobster, Bobster, you’re forgetting that the first priority isn’t to win. It’s to let everybody play.
