Last night destroyed my confidence that John Ferrell is a good in game manager. How do you not walk Longo there? It's the 5th inning, even if Myers had hit a grand slam we still had 4 innings to come back. Clay had a much higher chance of getting Myers out versus Longo. It is so baffling. Who cares if you put the tying run on first base in the 5th inning with 2 outs. The chances of that run coming around are very low, especially with a struggling Myers at the plate.
I also question taking David Ortiz's bat out of the game in the 8th inning. I don't think stealing against McGee has a high probability of success. He was out, but the sox caught a break. I would have loved to have David Batting in the 9th inning.
