That was an brilliantly managed game. Several instances that actively won us the game. That "tinkering" goes unnoticed tonight though because it worked.

Cohen did a very good job. I thought we called too many pickoff attempts, but that's it
It was commented on in the game thread. Great job not pulling Sexton in the 4th.Quote:

Actually myself, Hoops, and others talked about it in the game thread...but you conveniently missed it.Quote:

Wonder if this thread of yours would exist if it did?Quote:

One vs a full front page. Seems like there is pretty good posting balance on here**Quote:

You can always tell when it's Cohening when its completely obvious stuff like pulling Sexton last weekend, where seemingly everyone knows its a bad idea except him. Gotta take the bad with the good I guess.Quote:

Gotta like our chances. Our guys are still groovin' on playing.
And what happens when Marrero lines one at the 1B and takes us out of the inning? He had squared up everything against Hauck tonight. Can not call that a mistake on the front end.Quote:

You're a strange dude.Quote:

holy Jesus **** engie- you tell Eli to take while you steal the easy base. He would have beaten everybody to the base. they were giving it to us. Its an obvious call. Just hush. Cohen did a good job tonight- but he wasnt perfect.Quote:
