I can reveal the secret – Joe Maddon made all managerial decisions with the Magic 8-Ball.
watching the game my thought process was… howell is maybe a good bunter? and they didn’t want to burn a bench player on a bunt? thats the best justification i could thing of on the fly, but then when he pitched to burrell i had flashbacks to ben shouse, and ned yost getting fired… http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=280914222
