    Tremendous AB by Crisp ... this series was fairly lopsided on paper (when you line up postseason strengths) ... shows how these are all coin flips. Come on A's.

    TBS guys are shaky. Although a lot better than it was when Chip Caray was the lead. Ron Darling and Cal Ripken are excellent but the rest not so much. Studio guys are good, although it would be better if they focused on Verducci and Pedro. NESN guys spoiled us, and that has even been a dropoff from the Sean and Jerry days of a decade ago. I loved Ned Martin too - although everybody loves their hometown guys. Sean's staying power in the industry across the various sports show what a pro he really was - and he hated the umpires.

    Calculated risk more than anything - if there is a pitcher to take the training wheels off for - he's the right guy. Chance to go for the kill at home - and with a legitimately terrific safety net if it doesn't work. Got them a small edge against a more or less equal team. With the NLCS starting Friday, it STILL lets them use Greinke-Kershaw on full rest for Games 1 and 2, you just flip the order. It takes the chance to pitch Kershaw 3 times in the NLCS off the table, but I suspect that was never a real option.

    If there is a saving grace from the walk off last night was that Koji only threw 5 pitches to lose that game ... no reason he should not be ready for 8th inning duty today, just have to get the game there.

    Very smart move by Mattingly too. With 2 travel days, they had Greinke on full rest for Game 5 ... improved their odds and Greinke going in Game 1 is by no means chopped liver.

    This isn't 2004 Barry Bonds here. Buchholz should have made a better pitch. The intentional walk would have been defensible certainly - but this is post hoc thinking. Just like bringing in Uehara into the tie game - sometimes the move doesn't work. Buchholz gets that pitch further in and it's a popup. Just have to dust off and move on. Just need to force Hellickson to come to them - one thing is our guys are definitely locked in approach-wise and have been all series.

    Even without the travel day - you blow the wad now, worry about tomorrow later.

    Spinning it to our game last night - obviously wish Koji did not give up the homerun. But he is human, and at least we lost that game with our best guy. Fredi Gonzalez, alas ...

    Figures - Rodney threw his 2 best pitches of the inning to Carp right there.
  10. sk7326
    Imagine if this was pre-2004?
  11. sk7326
    From the land of interesting managing tactics - concede the run ... although the go-ahead run was in a precarious spot, Maddon probably did not have much choice. Pitching to Carp was another option but not sure that was a marginal difference.
  12. sk7326
    No reason to be too pessimistic, Rodney is not amazing and got some solid dead red guys coming up
  13. sk7326
    Wow, a Pedroia misread - don't see THAT everyday, s***
  14. sk7326
    two excellent plays by Salty ... Morales made a nice play on the bunt, but Napoli misread that ... Farrell We Love the 80s Baseball with the move to workman - why not Koji now, for real?
  15. sk7326
    on Napoli ... misread that
  16. sk7326
    from the land of switchhitters who shouldn't ... Salty, Nava ...
  17. sk7326
    well, driving him in was another ... not much he could do with most of those pitches
  18. sk7326
    lucky break - although zobrist did block the base ... so it evens out
  19. sk7326
    all jump there - good throw ... great slide
  20. sk7326
    Would have waited til he got to 2nd ... but fun to see a lefty lose the guy he was brought in, REALLY brought in to retire.
  21. sk7326
    Calculated risk - tells you how little Maddon thinks of Delmon Young's ability to field
  22. sk7326
    Delmon Young is so not an option in the outfield ... let's get something done here. We know Uehara is available for hard work tonight ...
  23. sk7326
    Buch did nice job to at least get this game to the "good bullpen" ... if only he had gotten that pitch a wee bit further in on Longoria, sigh ...
  24. sk7326
    Given how horrible the hitting standard is at catcher - being able to catch well is enough to justify a regular nod. If you can hit at all - watch the offers come in!
  25. sk7326
    I don't dismiss them at all - but entering the series, we looked at bat-missing pitching and superior defense as two distinct checks in the Rays column - and the Rays screwed both of them up. I thought (and I suspect I am not alone) that Tampa was a slight favorite assuming both teams play to form ... but Tampa has forgotten to bring their strengths to the party so far.
