That's what I want to see

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

Whoa. Ken Rosenthal is really short.

Or else Shields and Price are super tall.

Lol. Price looks like a giant.

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 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 like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

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 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”.
