9/2 vs Rays

[Dojji]

Of course the wild card here is that we don't know how Lowell was feeling. We all know that he's had injury problems this year and it's not really a question of getting over them as much as it is having good days and bad days. It's entirely possible that he wasn't available. We don't always get told these things.

 

So before I wrote the manager off entirely for a nonmove I'd like to be a little surer the move was actually possible.

he felt good enough to PH in the 9th and line out to LF. His condition was not the issue. The issue was managerial strategy.

OK I'll buy that. It is a bit of a head scratcher put that way. But RR would have come out no matter what in the bottom of the 8th so I'm not sure it matters.

With the lead, Tito may have opted to go a different way. He may have opted to go with Oki to start the 8th inning, especially sicne a lefty Carlos Pena was leading off the 8th. You can't excuse a mangerial screw up by saying that it wouldn't have mattered anyway, because that we truly don't know.

Even if Gonzo/Lowell get that hit, RR is the guy warming and the inning doesn't last much longer.

I'll never understand that (Tito's) kind of thinking. Drew should be in the line-up any time he is healthy. He is a vital component in our offensive machine.

Blame me. I'm 0-2 at games this year.
