Re: Did Larussa Cheat?
Take one vote off, I voted no before I read the rules. But there are two sides to every story. Should Tony have let Baker as soon as possible that he switched pitchers, probably. But Baker had the same option available to him as well. Tony is pretty good but he is not God and can't make it rain. Even knowing information about the weather that was available to everyone does not guarantee that rain will come. If it had not, the way Batista was pitching would have won the game for the Reds. It was a chance Tony took and it worked out in his favor. Unless there is written testimony about the time he made the switch to the time Baker was told it's all hearsay at this point.
On another note, there is way to much drama between our clubs that is not needed and has nothing to do with the game. Once a call is made in baseball it sticks, so no amount of should have could have been is going to fix anything. All this should have been in the past but unfortunately our fans in the stands have not let it go, and still let Phillips rile them up. I would like to see all of this drama go away.
