Joe Maddon

He had two of them.

He had two of them.

So he brought Chappie in earlier in that game and he was holding everything down and I moved him.

I double switched to the point where I thought he'd never come up.

And then he came up and the frigging bases are loaded.

So I'm not going to let Chappie hit right there.

So it took a shot.

And then, yes, you have to know in advance that if I send the right, we did the same thing against the Giants.

when we beat them in that fourth game.

But anyway, you got to know if they do this, we're going to do that.

Now, Blanton, if you remember, was also kind of a reverse split guy.

He had that cutter slider that came in on the lefties.

And he gets to an 0-2 count.

And that might be one of the loudest home runs that, I mean, off the bat that I think I've ever heard.

where our leadoff figure was going to be.

So I thought, that's safe.

We should be able to score some runs by then.

Then I could actually leave him in if we get to that point.

But sometimes the math doesn't work out.

And that's exactly what happened.
