Off Topic: Don Mattingly made a terrible mistake

X3NEIZE · 10-08-2013, 12:07 AM

By starting CK on 3 day rest, he basically gave Atlanta the chance of facing a weaker version of Kershaw instead of going with another starter and saving CK for game 5 and pretty much securing a win..... not to mention that he could have secure Kershaw for Game 1 on the NLS.....

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

Aww geez why did you mention the Yankees? I thought you were quite likable. Now you're just another Damn Yankee fan like Deja Bru.

I was born and raised a Red Sox fan on the outskirts of Boston. Yet I root for the Rays. You have no excuse.

On-topic, I completely agree. Didn't make a lick of sense.

Well I don't blame you, you were born in a non baseball town

My earliest years was spent in a small town called, Sudbury ... then later years, roaming around Charlestown, as a Southie ... seen plenty of Fenway, as well as, the Cape Cod league ...Later, I settled down and had a gym in Marlboro, off of Rt 20 ...

BURN! Well played.

It worked out fine.

dodger300 · 10-08-2013, 02:11 AM

Good thing Uribe can't bunt!

rworth88 · 10-08-2013, 02:32 AM

Kimbrel should've been pitching in the 8th, I saw him in the bullpen mouthing the words "I'm mad cause I told him if he wants me in after the 7th I'm good." Or something along those lines. Oh well, worked out for Dodgers.

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.

What, if anything, did your Father do?

Questdog · 10-08-2013, 02:53 PM

Rivera's a pitcher, not a player, and I like him too, as long as we don't learn that his prolonged career was chemically extended......Jeter was a heck of a player, but there is something missing in his character......it's probably just that he's too pretty to really like.....

So based on your Jeter comments, I take it you're a huge fan of guys like Ron Karkovice and Verne Ruhle?

I like Granderson, too. I know he hasn't been a Yankee for long (and maybe not much longer), but he seems like a class act all the way.
