They probably have said it already.

I generally don’t pay a whole lot of attention to Buck and McCarver, so I could have easily missed it the first few times around.

I've learned all kinds of things from Fox broadcasts

Jeannie Zolasko (and I don’t care how it is spelled) is a clueless moron.
Joe Buck is a worthless sack of dog feces riding his dad’s fame to earn a fortune.
Tim McCarver says some of the stupidest things imaginable.

That's what I want to see

Tightly contested games, (mostly) good play, and, of course, no Sux, Yanks, or slegnA.

So what did everyone think of the way Maddon mananged tonight?

Personally I thought that they should have brought in J.P. for Utley/Howard, but obviously the move they made worked out fine, your thoughts?

by mattman on Oct 23, 2008 8:57 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I can see bringing in Howell, in that Price

wasn’t as sharp tonight as he had shown before. But I think when Maddon brought him in his intent was to let Price finish the game, rather than trying to find several guys who could be effective.

At that point (Utley/Howard), Price was a “known quantity” – he was throwing fine – so better to stick with that rather than find out, maybe the hard way, whether Howell is on his game that night.

In sum, given that the team has no “true closer” (like Lidge) to choose, I think Maddon played it fine.

I think Maddon set himself up well

for the next two games by leaving Price in.

There’s not much of a book on Price, and that is a big advantage in a short series. Wasn’t Wheeler with the Astros? Some of the TB bullpen, the PHI players already know. But not Price.

JP will get his turn when the game is closer or tied. I think that works.

Officially awaiting the 2009 season.

good game

Maddon manages his rays very similar to what he saw with the angels (the winning way)
“get ’em on, move ’em over and get ’em in”. he is also willing to takes risks with the suicide bunt, and leave the rookie in to face utley and howard.

i think that is the kind of manager the A’s need.

by Wreckonized on Oct 23, 2008 9:32 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

When it was 3-0,

the Phillies had squandered two leadoff doubles and a first/third one out opportunity. That’s a 3-3 game if you just keep “moving them over”.

The Phillies sure have had chances in the series so far,

just like tonight when they out hit the Rays. The Phillies are 1 for something with runners in scoring position so far, they will definitely need to improve this in the next few games.

by mattman on Oct 23, 2008 9:48 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I thought that I wouldn't care who won,

but i lied. Philly just seems like the big bad wolf to me for some reason. Go Rays!
