 October 30, 2008Managerial PostscriptI’ll keep this one short and sweet. While I was rooting for the Rays to win game 5, and ultimately the series, I am thankful that I don’t have to watch Joe Maddon butcher the game any more than he has during this 2008 post-season.On my blog, I predicted that Maddon would make at least blunder last night. I didn’t have to wait long, and it was a real doozy... Click for more... Posted by: Mitchel Lichtman October 29, 2008McCarver’s callThe Phillies just scored in the bottom of the sixth, and Tim McCarver called it. Now, I'm not a big McCarver fan (though I thought he was great when he first started in the booth; so was Joe Morgan) but I have always given him bonus points for virtually "calling" Luis Gonzalez's bloop single off Mariano Rivera in the 2001 World Series. One of the greatest calls in baseball broadcasting history.He almost did the same thing tonight. With Grant Balfour on the mound, McCarver noted that Balfour is adept at inducing pop flies (not quite statistically true, but close enough) and just forgot to add the insight he had in the 2001 Series: that the infield was playing in. Iwamura couldn't catch up to Werth's pop fly in shallow center, and the Phillies took the lead, 3-2. And Baldelli homers. 3-3.
