Bulls***. Kimm did not make the right call. Even if Rowand had a shot at making it, you still don't send him. You then have runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. One flyball wins the game. We didn't execute earlier, but who says we won't execute in the 9th? If we don't, then the players suck, not the managers or coaches.
I completely agree. Two shots to get a runner home are much better odds. But I do think manual screwed up by putting Harris in a tie game, knowing that there was a chance he would bat with a runner on the following inning. If and only if you make that defensive replacement while still tied, then you put rowand in that 5th spot only because his bat is better. either way they blew chances out the ass last night. I bet he would do it that way next time.
PS I still hate Konerko. The Slowest overpaid player in the league.
