Actually he does.

He recovered from a huge mistake and made the decisions that won the game eventually.

You keep dwelling on the negative. The Royals have moved on to the next round.

_________________

Well, almost every analyst and expert has criticized him and said the Royals won despite him.


Im not sure who thinks he looks smart other than you.

I don't need an analyst to tell me that after he made the mistake going to the pen on Shields, that his base running calls and use of the bullpen from then on was masterful.

He won because he was able to recover from his mistake.

_________________

His baserunning calls are "good" because he has fast guys. If he would have just sat his ass on the bench instead of doing all kinds of stupid shit they most likely would have won in regulation without taxing the living shit out of the bullpen.

And if one of those steals in the 8th or 9th is an out, the yelling would be deafening.

And we could just as easily be discussing some of Melvin's moves too. Like how he could have pulled Lester sooner.

He called Colon's steal in the 12th inning.

And getting back to where this started, he used the bunt to their advantage also.

The fact is that sacrificing reduces the chances of scoring. I'm not making that up. It's real.

Well there 3,4,5, and 6 hitters are anything but a Murderers Row.
