If you can't see that, in my opinion, you are letting your hatred for TLR cloud your judgement. Did TLR [expletive] up last night, hell yea he did, but the players did not make the plays they are paid to make.
Blaming the players and blaming La Russa are not mutually exclusive.

Back when he was batting that pitcher 8th, Larussa just knew that someday another AL manager would come over to the NL and take the bait and try that same stupidity against the Cardinals. I would call it genius except it missed him by a few years.

Pretty much everyone agrees that batting the pitcher 8th is a good idea and increases scoring, if not by a large amount.

Yep. Everyone that's studied it, at least. The only problem with TLR batting the pitcher 8th is that he didn't do it more often.

You can google it if you like. Batting the pitcher 8th increases scoring, although the effect is quite small.

Google comes up with Lester strikeout in spot he shouldnt have been in, and 100+ years of baseball where it is simple logic, put your least effective hitter last and give them least amount of ABs. It is not complicated.

Well, by that standard, the pitcher shouldn't be batting at all. Cue the DH.
