Game 4's 3 Takeaways

My brother's take on Game 4 maneuvers:

I love Sheridan. I think that's a good assessment, but everyone changes the way they manage in playoffs and give early hooks. Blanton wasn't bad. 

Also - announcers kept saying how Blanton didn't get through 5.  NEITHER did Bumgarner.  They didn't mention that once. 

We lost because of 3 things -

     Better timely hitting, but still need to improve Ruiz thrown out at plate - just a terrible call by 3rd base coach - 1st and 3rd with Utley up and 1 out.  That's a run we gave up there.

     Our bullpen didn't come through.

     Unless there was a matchupo he didn't like with lidge, Lidge has to be in game before you use Oswalt.  You have to use your relievers before going to 2 games ago starter.       Didn't kill us, but just thought it should have been Lidge/Romero.

     By the way, Kendrick should come up with injury so we can bring someone else onto roster.  He obviously is not going to play.  Obvious at this point thye only way he was getting in series was if we were down 9-1 in 3rd inning.
