Yeah nevermind. The manager has to make some realllly tough decisions. I mean, he had to choose whether or not to start Ortiz at first over Youk when they played in Colorado. I would have cracked under that pressure.

Your right. The whole game is just on auto-pilot.
Some guy pitches the ball and some other guy tries to hit the ball and there are no adjustments or strategy decisions or other considerations all game or season long.
Short version - If you really think that was Francona's toughest or only decision for that game then you do not know nearly as much about baseball as you think you do.
