#346---All-Star Game, 7/12/2005

 


It didn’t take long after “This Time it Counts” became a thing to go back to the model of the primary goal of the All-Star manager being to completely empty the bench and bullpen. The ninth inning is a perfect example as Bob Wickman, BJ Ryan, and Mariano Rivera were all deployed. The NL had the tying runs on with nobody out, but Paul LoDuca, Carlos Lee, and Morgan Ensberg could not deliver.
