Not a fan of Mattingly, but since my Yankees our out, I hope is the Pirates vs Oakland in the WS.

Except most managers, when in the post-season, realize that there is no tomorrow if you don't win today. More than a few teams have blown a series because they were more worried about the next game instead of the current one.
Not standing up for Mattingly, just throwing out another perspective.
