" Christian in here for fox sports talk come along I Ken Rosenthal were on the field after an exciting game three the Angels get the extra inning victory. I got here without any scarves and heavy coats can and asking about Joe Girardi today a lot of trips to the mound a lot of trips back to a book inside the dugout. Case of him over managing or possibly being --"
" Definitely a case of over managing and he is going hear about it -- your papers and you -- criticism is unjustified. Two things stood out here one losing the -- and in the situation Rivera came up his spot came up in the eleventh. Two out none on one to bury it from now. The other thing in the bigger thing for me replacing David Robertson gotten throughout no problem. And then putting it out for us and it's another right handed pitcher to face a right handed batter. Like -- hear the explanation that neither of those guys had a history with Howie Kendrick there was really no reason to do that. And sometimes manages to get cute. If -- to second -- but I would bet a lot of people were howling. And on the broadcast. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver talked about that move. And now's the -- we saw him coach got that but in the dugout. The Yankees workers. Are those that lets look at fourth of -- and a if you look at the yankees' offense they're getting big bomb but the little hit at double a single that's coming for. No they're not hitting with runners scored and to win the drought right now and the over the last couple of games. -- have to change if now the Angels finally playing like the Angels have. And I would just we still have not really mean but ultimately. Have to do more and hit home runs. The capable of doing that but right now other in a little bit of a funk with a run scoring position. Some redemption for Bryant went to Angel -- he comes in it and get the out that he needed but at one point -- she comes out and the intentionally walk A-Rod. Was a lack of confidence was to mark of I would say smart and in that situation he didn't want to happen what happened in the previous game when there's gotta hand it to they got a little bit. Well let's go through a fastball away which he did not want to do it in and out. This time note taking any chances put Iran on just go from. One of the big hit today for the angels' Vladimir Guerrero the big jacked. You today wrote about maybe he shouldn't be hitting in that our -- some redemption for last. Absolutely and -- looking pretty stupid right now but that's what happens sometimes. He was 23. And the problem that he has had its painful with fastballs with movement like. Andy Pettitte had at this stage of his career mediocre fastball he's left handed the guys that Cabrera can handle. Later in the game Phil -- and much more difficult but. Clearly huge step forward for Cabrera today and reflect days two guys -- redeem themselves from game to. Howie Kendrick got for the Angels who was sent down to AAA this year he treated -- home run he -- double and another base hit. Kind of for Mike -- to keep him out of line up with the way he's the one who got the big hit tonight as well. Right and I would imagine they'll go with the rotation they and that's -- a lot out of both guys. An interesting conversation with Kendrick with a gain an okay how do you approach and -- and it. -- I don't look at it that way. I'll go out to the bench or in the order and watch him watch what he does the first few meters and kind of make up my game plan a goal. Obviously worked out okay. Obviously -- it was a -- depth of the Angels coming in game a must win game and we made a little bit of pro from robbery you and Torre on -- Yet here's the state and those guys and I don't know if it's. Fine art serves whatever. Like Christian I would imagine after games win by the hardest ones and I'm the first one. -- the Angels relax. And play with less sense of urgency or talk. Talk a calming down playing their game -- force everything. Part of the reason they try to force things is because of black struggles and the fact that they feel punter in particular that have to do things themselves. But now down 2130. Or to -- Different game up a little bit maybe let's look ahead to game for sabathia Scott Kazmir here on fox of course you -- match. Well since he's been great this post season and he has a proven record track record of pitching well on three days' rest. But keep in mind before the last star numbers against the Angels were not very. And on three days' rest I would imagine after all these innings -- his stuff would be less effective. So on the Angels -- feel okay about that in Kazmir is the guy that when he can be dominant. I think with cancers he faced the Yankees have time in his career he should not be overwhelmed by the moment -- last year in the -- yes. This should be a great matchup as well. Life for the Angels after the get the big victory this is not -- want Kenny we appreciate -- Lakers and thanks."
