Well, aside from my severe depression that set in about 40 minutes ago, Ned actually managed a pretty good game tonight I would say. I'm not a fan of Spurling in the 9th in a tie game ever, but he was fine today, thankfully. I don't have a problem replacing Braun with Counsell, because today Ned did it way later in the game, rather than the 6th or 7th. I do have a small beef with having Counsell bunt, considering some big at-bats Counsell has put up lately, getting up to 9-10 pitches in an at-bat then coming up with a big hit, I would rather have him swing and take our chances that way. Bunting isn't exactly our strong point most of the time, there was only one out, Stocker is somewhat speedy, I'm confident Counsell could have atleast knocked him in with a sac fly. I don't want Ned back, but I've been much more upset at Ned than today to say the least. Today's loss is on the players IMO, and I feel sick that Rickie booted that ball there, after the month and half he's been having. Just feel terrible for the guy.
