and I can deal with that. But the way it led up to that. Bringing in your lefty specialist to face Papi with a 4 run lead and nobody on. That essentially tells Myers to throw strikes first, just dont walk him and you negate his usefulness. Vizcaino, while he has been okay to this point, is a guy who walks too many. I dont like him facing Manny. And Mo in the 8th. Yeah, I forgot we have the april version of Mo. The less reliable guy who eventually turns it on and is ridiculous. But until then.
The three things that burn me the most is the defense played on Crisp, pinch running for Giambi for nearly no reason, and then not having Phelps hit for Thompson.
When Crisp was at the plate, a single is tolerable, a double ties the game. Therefore, you should be playing no doubles defense. There is no way Minky should have been that far off the line.
