i jus wanna know if y’all were chucklin’ abit in the 9th when Maddon brought in starter Archer for 1 batter (Pedroia) and then immediately go to Wright for Ortiz (his “last” pitcher) ... I assumed he would let Archer pitch the extra innings ... but it was Price warming in the bullpen for the extra innings ... on 3 days extra short rest.
Game 5 woulda been another bullpen game, if the scenario played out. Maybe some other managers who never watched Torre-Stottlemeyer do it right, they might have watch Maddon last nite and learn something ... like Mattingly. I would like to see Maddon in the NL where he can really manage.
I know GOPSTER think all things Maddon are really really cool.

Joe “Watch Me” Maddon. I’m sickened from his schtick; you might think he invented the game of baseball. He didn’t. And he’s won ZERO World Series, despite being such an “innovator”.
Oh, and you manage a “small market” that’s YOUR choice. I’d love to see this “smartest guy in the room” go to a “large market” to manage and see if he finally wins a WS.
Until then, F*C* YOU, JOE!!! STFU!
