    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.

    Imagine if this was pre-2004?

    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.

    No reason to be too pessimistic, Rodney is not amazing and got some solid dead red guys coming up

    Wow, a Pedroia misread - don't see THAT everyday, s***
  10. 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?
  11. sk7326
    on Napoli ... misread that
  12. sk7326
    from the land of switchhitters who shouldn't ... Salty, Nava ...

    well, driving him in was another ... not much he could do with most of those pitches
  14. sk7326
    lucky break - although zobrist did block the base ... so it evens out
  15. sk7326
    all jump there - good throw ... great slide
  16. 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.
  17. sk7326
    Calculated risk - tells you how little Maddon thinks of Delmon Young's ability to field
  18. 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 ...

    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 ...
  20. 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!
  21. 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.

    and blatantly ignoring things like "On Base %" which most baseball fans have already figured out.
  23. sk7326
    They have been excellent. Tampa has been poor - especially poor at the stuff they NEED to be good at. Of course Shaugnessy wrote his article about how the series is ovah, but that's silly. 3 games is a bad weekend. That said, have to like how the team has approached these fireballers.

    The bringing out Lackey for the 6th was not great - although going right to his winning bullpen was. You had the extra day and the blowout the night before - so 6 outs of Uehara was there if needed. The thing with Lackey is a bit of the "old timey baseball" things Farrell does at times which is a little baffling given how smart he is and how much the team uses the newer information. Either way, using Breslow aggressively was a good call - and the thing you do when you have a bullpen that you do not have to worry about. And tonight, back to more of the same. It also does give some clue as to what a lot of folks on the board worried about. How do you solve the Red Sox issues with the middle of the bullpen? By skipping it entirely.

    Dusty knew how to get his guys to play - but his tactical managing was ... not good.
