And he threw 0 innings yesterday. 25 > 0.
Doesn't matter if Lawrie makes the play, as much as I loved Buehrle last night, that hit was on him. Anytime you give a guy the opportunity to hit a line drive, that's on the pitcher, not the fielders. That's why there's such a thing as BABIP. Lawrie was hard on himself for that play, and it makes complete sense that he was, but he didn't tell the guy to hit the ball that hard.
Buehrle was at 108 pitches, with Zobrist on base and Longoria coming up. Yes Gibbons could have trusted him to leave him in, and I wish that he had, but from a strictly managerial perspective, you couldn't really have managed that inning better than Gibbons did last night. People rage when managers don't make the emotional decision, and then people rage twice as hard everytime they do. If Longoria beat Buerhle, people would have been spazzing about how Gibbons left him in too long and shouldn't have given him the 9th inning to begin with. Pick what the hell you guys want. If you want an emotional manager, then stop sucking off analytical ones like Maddon.
