i agree. what happened to playing small ball and manufaturing runs that we heard so much about during last years world series against the sox.
wtf garner? are you tryin to spend the whole pen before we get lead? what if this one goes 18? who's gonna pitch then?
Lidge needs to knock some of these hitters DOWN...they are too comfortable up there......inside and tight...get them worried about him being wild. HIT THE BULL BRADLEY !! DD
Goddamit, get Lidge the hell out of there NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! He's gonna cost us another game. We can go to 3 back, he is killing this team.
When Garner took over the team in 2003 it seemed like he was much more aggressive in manufacturing runs. I know the personnel is not the best for this, but I don't see why the Astros rely so much on the old Baltimore Orioles wait-for-the-three-run-homer approach. I think if Garner stressed this aspect of the game more the team wouldn't come up so lamely like they did in the last inning. Back to the regularly scheduled Lidge meltdown...
