And what's really wild, is there will be upset Sox fans if RR wins Manager of the Year.

Why is the line there? Why doesn't the closer working multiple innings come into the equation? Why didn't we get mad about Yolmer and McCann not subbing in for the same reasons? You are the one throwing around loaded phrases and only applying them where you see fit here. Especially in a situation where the manager has already managed incredibly aggressively with his bullpen and the Engel situation. Don't get hurt feelings now from your own words.

You are the one who is peddling the idea of managing scared, not me. I just can't figure how where this "logic" begins and ends, and more importantly why it is so inconsistent.

So being scared that Eloy might miss a ball isn't operating scared, but being scared of losing his bat is? Makes sense.

Then you can easily turn the tables and ask how many hits/homers does Eloy have that Dyson wouldn't have gotten?

The Twins did pretty much everything wrong last night. The failed in the clutch, they missed opportunities, and they got strategy wrong at key times.

Isn't using a D sub managing scared?

I can think of one on the entire Sox roster.

This is how I explained the actions as well. If he was down the line it would have been one thing, but if Colome had blown the game, Eloy would have literally led off the 9th with a chance to win it.

?

The Twins have absolutely shat themselves tonight in big situations.

RR playoff managing the pen tonight.

But three of them? Cool.

Marshall with a great outing. Clutch.

Tonight the Twins are 2-14 with RISP, the Sox are 1-7

239 pitches thru 6.

Is Nelson Cruz ok?

Twins have missed so many chances tonight.

That was supposed to be an inside fastball.

Yes, put on Cruz

162 pitches for 4 innings.

120 pitches to get through 3.

If Vaughn was coming, he would have been here weeks ago.

1 hour to play 2.5 innings. Going to be a loooooooong night.

Holy crap, they rolled up Nelson Cruz in the clutch. This might really be our year.
