Pardon the Marte in the ninth. I'm very embarrassed! I was think that it was home and we needed to hold em in the top of nine. WTF?!?!?!? Sorry to everyone.
I could be wrong, but I think it's Matt Andersen coming in. Jose was hit for because he'd have to hit RH in this situation. Just ONCE I wanna see someone hit from the same side as the pitcher throws. I think that aspect of the game is far overrated.
I realize now that Sparks is a righty, I just thought I saw that on the uniform. ACCCHH! Daubach wasted! I'm not a firm believer in the righty-lefty matchups.
He dropped the damn thing! HA! Damn, they still got him at second.
Never mind on the Sparks business... Personally, the way I manage, is if we're behind, we go for scoring the runs and PH. If we're ahead, then we leave Olivo in there for his defense.
I don't want to heat tinker man in this situation, because you complain when he doesn't pinch hit for CLee in certain situations or Rowand in others. "he's smart if it works and he's 'tinker man' if it doesn't".
YES! Nice throw by Rowand!
