Game 4 analysis

From PK:

He left Blanton in 1 batter too long - could have gone lefty-on-lefty with Huff up in bottom 5, but didn't. He got lucky Durbin only gave up 2 runs - 4 of his 1st 5 batters were doubles and walks.

 

And letting Francisco hit with Werth on 2nd, no one out, was a mistake. Ben either needed to be laying down a bunt or lifted for a lefty bat.

 

Oswalt was curious, but not horrible. An in between day, that didn't burn him for Game 6.

 

It just felt like Charlie was managing for the tie, not the win.
