Managing Expectations

·1 min

I’m not a big Tony LaRussa fan, and I’m really not understanding these moves thus far:

  1. Not having Steve Kline on the roster
  2. So Taguchi starting in left yesterday
  3. Using Jason Marquis as a pinch runner in Game 1
  4. Marlon Anderson DHing today
  5. Using Jason Marquis as a reliever in Game 2
  6. Pitching Matt Morris on 3 days’ rest

I know NL strategy is different, but is it really that different? Seems like sometimes LaRussa tries to hard to do something ‘clever’. We’ll see when we head to Busch.
