Hoffy, it has nothing to do with mental makeup, despite your continual efforts at playing armchair psycologist. They're just not very talented. People need to come to grips with that.
Yeah, I'd argue that it probably would have been better to have the more experienced Kane Davis start that inning off in the first place. It was a rough situation for Capellan to make his Brewers debut in.
Just a reminder . . . this game is on Telemundo in the Milwaukee area. Which is also a reminder to those of us outside of Milwaukee that our broadcast deal with FSN blows. No TV for 3 of the last 4 games. Yech.
So now we can't even post seperate threads for seperate transactions to filter the discussion? Color me unimpressed with some of the moderating decisions lately as well, though I know it is a thankless job.
It's fun to watch other managers proving they are smarter than Yost. Nice hit and run, Yost. Not sure why that proves anything. I have zero problem with a hit and run in that situation with Weeks on and JJ at bat.
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa called it sound strategy. "I was hoping they'd pinch hit for him. But he didn't, and quite frankly, I wouldn't have, either," La Russa said.
From the Nashville box score: Hart, C CF Bah? Did I miss something along the way that said they were going to try Hart in CF? If anything, I thought it would be Cruz playing there since they had been experimenting with him a bit.
Rich Dauer gets a lot of props for positioning the infielders but not this inning! They were set for the double play there... Dauer didn't position them different at all.
