By the way, I love this analogy. It fits our manager perfectly. Well done!jim wrote:
LaRussa is the type of guy that would take an umbrella with him when the weatherman called for sunshine, but yet an unexpected t-storm popped up he would leave it buckled up and unused in his car.
Outside of Molina's HR in Toronto Freese and Molina's contributions this month might not even equal LaRue's and Miles. Maybe it was sending a message to those starters as well, or getting them a breather.jim wrote:Ah yes, the IBB when you are down 10-2 in the 8th. AFTER it seems you have thrown the white flag up by giving some guys rest with Molina and Freese out of the game in the 6th for LaRue and Miles.
This is what really causes me to scratch my head, the inconsistent patterns. Walking a guy down 8 in the 8th seems to indicate a manager "playing it out" as Jay said on the broadcast, yet 2 innings earlier making substitutions that sure seemed like the game had been given up on.

Because he used Motte in the 7th or 8th because he had to switch McClellan out of the game for Winn or something stupid. I don't even remember how the hell it happened, just remember thinking WTF is Winn in this game in the 7th or whenever it was.Rieges wrote:Last time it was clear Franklin didn't have it, TLR didn't hestitate to bring in Motte.

My goof, was half-following on gameday until they picked it up on MLB Network in the 9th. I still would have gotten someone else up after the Fowler double.InvincibleCakeEater wrote:Because he used Motte in the 7th or 8th because he had to switch McClellan out of the game for Winn or something stupid.
