It'll have to be a pitcher's duel, then. Because I would bet a kidney that Jaime Garcia will pitch 6-7 innings of 3-hit ball tomorrow, whiffing a couple and generally Greg Smithing the fuck out of this squadron.

Because Rodriguez is the "closer" Manuel had to keep him for that situation. Scanning the St' Louis Post Dispatch and LaRussa is getting fairly hammered for his managing of the game, On Holiday he said eh got all he could form him , remember he was sick....
"It's real obvious, if you double-switch Holliday out of the game, unless you have a really deep bench, you've got a problem," La Russa said. "But I looked at five at-bats for a guy who got punched out three times, who's obviously not himself � he's forcing it. I think it's kind of criminal to leave him in the game The way the game turned out, maybe (Holliday) would have won it before that, but if he had to play another four, five innings?" La Russa said. "Nah. I have no regrets about that. ... Matt had given us more than what he had to give, and that was enough."
Of course some of their fans think Manuel out-managed LaRussa..... http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports ... enDocument

To me it's more like LaRussa under-managed Jerry. Hard to claim that anyone out-managed anyone during that fiasco. As far as Frankie Rod: I suspect the "100" pitches in the pen is likely an exaggeration. Watching via a network it's tough to tell how often or how long he was up because they've always got so many other things going on so I have no actual idea, but it's a condition of today's game that the closer is so often "saved" for the situation which may never come up that he often warms up more than once in anticipation of the spot which may or may not come up. I'd just rather he use him earlier and hopefully for longer and get it all over with.

LaRussa twice sent up relief pitchers to bat with two out and the bases loaded while he still had a position player on the bench, and despite that he ended up running out of pitchers before Jerry did and therefore had to get three innings from position players. Jerry certainly should have gone to Frankie Rodriguez earlier (that was my peeve from the other 10-inning loss from the previous week) and he's by no means the smart guy I want managing the team. But I do think he outmanaged the guy who is considered a genius. (And that doesn't mean that Jerry's a genius; it means that LaRussa very much isn't.)

Re: IGT 4/17/10 - Johan Begins The Turnaround

This whole withholding the closer thing until a save situation really bothers. But I can kind of understand that as you need to keep players happy and a closer is probably going to make more money and be happier if he is getting a whole bunch of saves. What REALLY pisses me off is the emerging "8th inning guy." Now, instead of not being able to use your best relief pitcher whenever you want, you can use your TWO best relief pitchers whenever you want. When is some manager going to give the league the big FU and start using relief pitchers intelligently? Or is it only going to get worse?

IIRC, Jim Bouton, in "Ball Four", noted that it was his scoreless seven inning performance in an extra-extra inning game that showed his manager (Ralph Houk?) that he could be a starter.

Maybe we should hold a telethon to get more posts in this thread. I always wanted to be part of breaking a record. Later

I spent the 10th inning throwing up, trying to recover from a crazy work-induced migraine; followed the game on and off on my phone after that, lying in bed. But I enjoyed recapping it tonight; nice work, everyone.

I tuned in late and saw Kyle Lohse in LF and thought "LaRussa ran out of pitchers". Then I saw Mather on the mound and realized that he had a pitcher fielding and a fielder pitching. Brilliant!

Was moving on Saturday and had the game on the radio on my phone all day, and I think it hit the 10th by the time I got back to the old apartment to start the clean-up. Great to have this game on the whole damn miserable moving day and even better it ended in a 'W'. Just read this thread start-to-finish. Some real gems in here. Helluva IGT, peeps.

Probably the most fun filled IGT since Willie got canned.
