Tracy Failed To Play Mickeyball

Jeff Weaver被打2HR丟了3分，丟的分數全都是被全壘打丟掉的，但是LA Daily News把14日輸掉的這場比賽算到Tracy頭上來，因為他老人家在九局上的觸擊戰術失敗了，截錄MLB的gameday：

平 心而論，LA Daily News指出不該讓近況好的Antonio Perez觸擊，因為雖然Tracy會怕Perez打成雙殺打，但他生涯222打數也不過1次GIDP，而且他的腳程夠快，了不起變成野手選擇。再者下一 棒是近況差到谷底的Izturis，六月41打數僅4安，全都是短程的一壘安打，扣掉六月1日的2支安打的話更只剩2/37的難堪成績。

要在九局客場落後1分的情況下，觸擊戰術下的並沒有錯，但是Tracy完全忘記考慮到場上球員的狀況。

Perez觸擊失敗後被三振，接下來更有趣了，一出局的情況下，Izzy還是選擇自動製造下一個出局數，雖然賽後訪問Tracy說那不是他下的戰術。
