99% of the time I disagree with all you guys that rip managers, but today I'm in agreement.
Why bring in a LHP to face Lockhart when you know someone will come off the bench to hit for him? I'd rather have Giles or De Rosa swinging the back in that situation, and that's exactly what Baker forced when he made the switch.
It's one thing to take Ortiz out -- he couldn't locate anything, but atleast go with you're best reliever and keep a favorable matchup. Probably Rodriguez versus Lockhart.
As for Cox, someone was ripping him in another thread but everything he did tonight worked out and atleast put his guys in situations to succeed. Excecution was another story, but all his pinch hitters and yanking Millwood early worked out favorably, to my suprise, I must admit.
