The ******* announcers were ready to pull him in the first. It would have been just fine with me. If we got CC in the game, we'd have tortured him again.
The second guess will not be whether he leaves him in too long this game. The real second guess is whether Beckett should have pitched game 4 and game 7. The whole FO will have to live with that if we lose tonight.
For all the s*** Manny takes, he is never given enough credit for the work he does on his fielding. The last two Springs in particular he has put a lot of time into his fielding.
