Fulmer should've never batted in the first place. Had an OF pitching and Fulmer's pitch count was high (hasn't had that many pitches in a while). I honestly thought Jay was going to bat in that situation and Osich was going to come in afterwards. He probably wanted to save Osich but we saw that didn't work.
I applaud Fulmer for busting his ass (he really wanted that hit) but as we saw with any pitcher, never a good idea.
