Not so sure I wanted to make them take the closer out

I hope Taveras can get it done but if they left Bourjos in that dude may have walked in a run or cut loose with a wild one.

Would you rather have...
Bourjos batting against a dude that had obviously lost his release point...throwing his 3rd day in a row for the first time since July 1st?OT vs. a fresh lefty?
Mathenaging!!! Dude just gets worked over. Constantly.

I really didn't expect OT to do it again but if he lets Bourjos bat and he hits the weak ground ball you guys are on here ripping MM for not giving Oscar a chance.

Ain't it fun managing from the recliner!

This one was also pretty easy, putting in OT there was an easy move to first guess from the couch.

To the poster below - yeah, you're going to make an out 65% of the time with Bourjos, but that doesn't mean hitting him was the wrong play when Affledt was ready to go. That ignores the other aspects of the move that also have some value - Taveras was your best PH left and Bourjos is a much better defensive player.
