| The starting [[catcher]] and #6 batter for the [[San Francisco Giants]] in [[R.B.I. Baseball]], Bob Brenly is one of those special (read: mediocre) players in the game that is [[pinch-hit]] for nearly every game. The argument is never if you should pinch hit but when you should pinch hit for him.
| |
| | |
| Having said that, he isn't awful like [[Rafael Santana]] or [[Steve Lake]] but cast more in the mold of other (non) notable catchers like [[Tony Pena]], [[Bob Boone]] and [[Benito Santiago]]. Bob definitely has the ability to get hot and provide protection for arguably the best player on his team, [[Chili Davis]].
| |
| | |
| Brenly's most notable accomplishment is winning a [[World Series]] ring as [[manager]] of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Before being hired as a MLB manager despie his lack of managerial experience at any level, he was a color commentator for Fox Sports coverage of [[Major League Baseball]]. Brenly is currently the color commentator for the WGN network's coverage of the [[Chicago Cubs]].
