Fans seem to accept that players fuck up, even that umps fuck up to some extent, but if the manager ever does anything iffy, it's like this huge shock. The guy's a human being...these things happen. And yes, I think it was dumb, or at least unnecessary, but jeez....<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->I don't think anyone thinks it's that big of deal, it just makes for interesting debate. And that's a good point on manager/human error. I'm harder on managers because they generally have more time to make decisions. Plus I think physical mistakes are the easiest to understand. Mental errors though, players also get hammered for more. Mangers can only really make mental errors, so they're gonna hear it. This one I wouldn't even call a mental error, it was just a gamble that didn't pay off.
How exciting would it have been if it worked though? I mean that may have been more memorable than the grand slam.
