Napoli still had to hit the ball no matter who pitched it. Who knows what would have happen if Motte got into the game, maybe he hits a home run off him. We will never know.

And I'm sure Napoli appreciated having the lefty pitch to him...

Anybody buy the story LaRussa was spinning about the bullpen TWICE not hearing what he was saying on the phone? I don't.

Nope ... phone doesn't work ?
They heard the first guys name OK.

If they are having trouble with the phone, wouldn't you send someone down to the pen to make sure what was wanted got done ?

Former Atlanta Braves'/Baltimore Orioles' pitching coach Leo Mazzone on ESPN's OTL said that Atlanta manager Bobby Cox told him that when he called the bullpen,the bullpen coach had to repeat back to him his instructions.The bullpen coach also had to sit by the phone & he was the only one who could answer it.

Honestly I got tired & went to sleep before the fireworks really got started in the bottom of the 8th inning. I wish I could of stayed up to hear what Joe Buck & Tim McCarver had to say about the bullpen fiasco as it was occurring in real time.

True dat!!!

For a transplanted New Yorker/New Jerseyer, it was so strange at first when I lived in LA. Most of the games in the whole country ending by 7-8 PM, important games starting at 5PM local time, waking up and watching the NFL at 10AM on Sunday (although without Sunday Ticket at the time...was I REALLY watching the NFL? ), absolutely no sports on after 10PM or so...took some time getting used to.

But you do get used to it!

This can bring Carpenter back for game seven on three days rest.

The statistics for pitching on short rest scream "no".....

Carpenter was pinch hit for in the fourth, having given up four runs in three innings.

I'd start a proven big game pitcher like Carpenter on three days rest. It's all hands on deck anyway, so you might as well have your best starting the game.
