Yadi simply flipped the mit up there and kept letting Carp throw those 0-2 fastballs. That's just not acceptable. He needed to call time and get his guy on track. He should've at least pointed out to the umpire that the Angels were deliberately fouling up Carps rhythm by taking long walks outside the box between pitches. Yadi was terrible today behind the plate. There's just no escaping it.

Well, we've got an excellent chance to pull this one out. Bases loaded, one out, bottom of the 10th.

Play-by-play, anybody? Gamecast seems to be stuck.

Come from behind to win it in 10 innings doesn't seem to me to be a team laying down.

Bses loaded with one out. Angels put 5 infielders in the infield with bases loaded and no center fielder. Lopez hits it off the top of the CF wall for the game winner.

Lopez was awesome, Freese was awesome, Albert had an off day and they picked him up, great game!

Anybody heard anything about a recent dust-up between Pujols and LaRussa?

Lohse -- DL trip likely, if so it appears that Ottavino will get his start. Nobody's real sure what's wrong with him, MRI will turn up more info; probably just an "Isringhausen" DL trip where they squirrel him away for 2 weeks to let him figure out what the hell is wrong with him. Quote:
Pujols was being a petulant bitch and LaRussa finally called him on it. Albert needs to tone it down a bit with showing up his teammates.

Maybe, but any time you take the bat out of Pujols hands, thats a bad mangerial move for our side.

Aggressive baseball has worked for 100 years. When Albert is superhuman, perhaps station to station is a viable strategy. But AP is presently not in the top 10 in any triple crown category and has been in a funk for the better part of May. You manage based on what you have at that moment in time. When Ludwick went, LaRussa had a guy that hasn't hit the ball well for a month at the plate and a chance to steal the lead with a single. Diefying players will get you into a lot of trouble. Ask Grady Little if he wishes he'd have pulled Pedro Martinez sooner. Ask Dusty Baker how he feels about leaving Mark Prior out there in the '03 NLCS. More managers have been felled by 'great man' syndrome than I dare count. You don't always defer to your superstar just because he's a superstar. You manage every pitch by the situation you're presented with at the exact instant you're presented with it. Martinez was gassed. Prior was tired. Albert is struggling. That's it. Baseball's a simple game and it doesn't have to be any more complicated than that.
