There really hasn't been a whole lot to critique about the manager recently with the team not scoring any runs. As a result of the scoring drought, Charlie really hasn't had to make many tough decisions. I don't really like the decision to bat Wilson Valdez second because as I've stated before, many statistical-minded baseball people think that the 2nd and 4th holes in the lineup are the most crucial (as stated in The Book). I know the lineup isn't ideal right now with the injuries to Rollins and Polanco, but still, don't just throw a replacement player in the starter's spot especially when things haven't been going well.
Hats off to Mr. Halladay on dicing the Marlins all night.
