Maddon just got outmanaged by Matheny.
I know Schwarber's a mess but it's still good to get a big power bat out of the lineup in a tie game. And then Maddon burned his best RH pinch hitter as well.
All so he could get a matchup that I loved before the first pitch was even thrown. I know how often Jay rolls that pitch over to 2b and as soon as he was announced against Bowman, I figured we were in good shape there. Molina knows how to pitch him and Bowman has the stuff to make it work. He just kept popping that inside part of the plate knowing full well that Jay was going to roll it to 2b.
Very good managing by Matheny and great execution of a gameplan by Molina and Bowman.
