So, as it turns out, Coste was outmatched whenever he got up to bat. He seemed stumped by the fastball and did nothing more than pop it up.

I felt kind of sad for him but the WS is for the ones who can keep up in the MLB.

If we can win in 5, we don’t have to worry about the DH after Game 2

I was just about to purchase Coste’s book too. I’ve been a fan of him for a bit now. I feel like i get to know the players better in my PSP than in real life. (MLB the Show)

i did not know Werth can catch too.

…can he pitch?

Dice… Jenkins? Seriously? Against a left handed ace? Is your first name Andrew? I’d rather have Blanton DH against Kazmir.

Here we go again with the Taguchi thing. Look, Coste is the DH which is the right move for tonight. If, for any reason, Ruiz get hurt and the backup catcher issue is raised, remember…….Werth can catch if needed. So everybody just needs to relax and trust this decision. I’m not a huge Taguchi fan and the first time he’s asked to sacrifice a runner and can’t do it I’m not gonna be real happy and probably be calling for Charlie’s head. But let’s just wait and see how this all plays out before we jump to all kinds of conclusions.

I agree.

Phillies have some great hitting pitchers, like Myers. If you are in the AL you don’t get a chance to see someone like Myers Bat.

He’s great!!!

Word. I’m happy that Coste is going in. He hasn’t been used basically all post-season and it’s ridiculous.

In other news…3 hours to go!!!

I think the DH sucks… baseball players should be able to play Baseball… David Ortiz can hit the ball thats great.. he can’t field worth a damn though, so overall he’s really not that good a baseball player.

I think the DH takes so much strategy out of the game too..

Jeez, Don, just when I think I have the DH thing all figured out, you go and confuse me with more facts. My husband, the Orioles fan, LOVES the DH, we are good for several feisty discussions on that thruout baseball season.
