i agree jimi... i do think Joe overmanaged there but sometimes u go w/what ur gut tells u to do, it doesn't always work out... i've seen Joe Torre make similar moves also in past postseasons, sometimes they'd work out, sometimes they didn't... u can't tell what's gonna happen ahead of time, u just gotta trust ur instincts sometimes & the rest is up to the players to deliver & do their jobs... Aceves didn't do his job there, so he's equally to blame if u ask me... if he comes in & gets Kendrick out then Joe gets called a genius for making that move.

we really need to win tonight's game... gotta get the momentum back from the Halos, can't let it get to 2-2 w/game 5 in Anaheim.

i'm a girardi fan...but robertson has been on fire these playoffs and aceves has been shaky at best...that was a tough one, even for me to let go. all the other moves, i didn't have a problem with...

it was a second guesser type move, no question, i'm not saying i loved the move... just giving u what the reasoning probably was behind making it from Joe's perspective.

I think to some degree tight managing = a tight team. Was an issue with Yankee postseasons in the post Zimmer Torre years

one thing i noticed in many of the playoff games (including other series) is the # of trips to the mound - either from manager, catcher or pitching coach. and almost every time, the pitcher messes up after the trip. there's something to be said about letting a pitcher keep his rhythm...none more evident than when aj pitches...and girardi coming out on the 2-2 count to vlad. you know andy and jorge are vets and must've been annoyed by him coming out there.

Tex and Swish normally have outstanding eyes at the plate but have chased a lot of bad pitches this post-season

tex is locking up this postseason...had the 2 big hits in game 2 of the twins series and that's it.

at least unlike giambi, tex has been spectacular in the field...

Teix has been horrible at the plate, but he's been spectacular in the field.

at some point i'd like to see Gardner starting for a game cuz Melky's been ridiculously pathetic at the plate so far this postseason.

I had thought we'd see Gardner starting some because they brought up Guzman as an extra pinch runner. If not taking out Melky I'd also consider taking out Swish at this point, who's AB's have also been dreadful
