Pitching, however, needs to be managed from the standpoint that you play the matchups correctly to win close games. You know your bullpen and starters and no when someone is done or can keep going. No excuse for thinking Guts had it today. |

If an AL manager does neither, then he's not relevant. He neither helps nor hurts the team. DM's first choice was a bunting idiot. I'm afraid that his 3rd choice might be the same, or an arm-wrecker.

When you have the best bullpen in the majors at your disposal, it is egregious to leave them out of the game so Guthrie has a chance at a bright and shiny win. Quote:
Also, I believe your standards are far too low for a manager. True, a ten year old with some Madden experience is likely better equipped to coach a football team than your average five year old, but that doesn't mean I want a ten year old to be coaching my team in the playoffs. I believe we grew accustomed to such incompetence in the past 28 years that some fans are now content with a manager who does not destroy the arms of our players, but if we want a winning ballclub in this town, we're going to need more.

YOSTED: "No, I felt that he was going to get us through the inning," Yost said. "This is no time to be managing with your heart, you try to use your head. I just felt he could get us through it." If THAT is Ned trying to manage with his head, we have zero chance at ever contending. |

Huge missed opportunity today with all the other losses. If we would have passed NY and Baltimore we would have controlled our own destiny. However, we still do for all intents and purposes.

A missed opportunity today, no reason to lose the way we did.
