Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 3140761, member: 19"] What bothered me is exactly what Smoltz was saying. If you go to your bullpen earlier than you need them in game 1, you're giving the Astros more looks at them. He brings in Ottavino to face Springer in game 1. Then he brings in Ottavino to face Springer in game 2. Felt like the unanimous Manager of the Year overmanaged that one a bit. As for today's lineup, I get trying to break up lefty/righty but 1. Houston's staff is all righty, and 2. I'd rather have Gleyber bat more, in more likely spots to have people on base. That wouldn't be following Edwin and his waving wand. It would be after DJ and Judge. I'll stop complaining now, because as I said, he's manager of the year. [/QUOTE]
