Pedroia stole 20 bases for us this year and does have OK speed. Nothing wrong with sending the runner and trying to make something happen. If Ortiz walks no biggie, if he gets a hit then we may tie the game up on it (because it was only a 1 run game then)....striking out was the worst case scenario and, Well you know what happened
Lowrie was 2 for 18 in the series so far and didn't have a hit the past 2 games, and I think Lowrie is 0 for tropicana field in his career. Cora on the other hand handles a fastball well, has previous playoff experience, and always seems to be around when something good happens. I had no problem with that move.
And we have Lowell for 2 more years if i'm not mistaken.....he just signed a contract at the end of last season.
Managers don't win Playoff games for you, They sure as hell can lose them for you, but they don't win'em. Garza pitched a great game last night and nothing Tito could have done would have changed that.
