Maddon changes his mind for Game 5 starter
2008-10-15 08:47
by Bob Timmermann

Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon, with his team just one win away from the World Series, has decided to start lefty Scott Kazmir in Game 5 of the ALCS at Fenway on Thursday instead of James Shields. This came from a report at Boston.com.

Maddon feels that he would be better served using the pitcher who would require more relievers to back him in up in the game before a day off rather than in Game 6 and then potentially have a tired bullpen for a Game 7.

Also, Tampa Bay will open up over 5000 more seats for its next home game, which will either be Game 6 of the ALCS or Game 1 of the World Series. From ESPN.com, via BTF.

On the surface this seems like a good move. I'll the smart people tell if that is so.
