I think starting Wakefield is a stroke of genius! It's exactly what I wanted to see. We're playing in NY. We're not expected to win the first game regardless of who's pitching. Why waste our best pitcher against their's? If we can win with Wakefield today, that puts us at a tremendous advantage with both momentum and confidence. Genius, pure genius! If we lose, we're supposed to. It don't mean nothing and we don't waste our best pitcher. I love this move! da-strategic-bum

Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds..... The Los Angeles Dodgers today [6/24/98] have named... Charlie Hough pitching coach... announced Dodgers Vice President and General Manager Tommy Lasorda....... On 5/26/99, the Dodgers fired pitching coach Charlie Hough and replaced him with Claude Osteen, formerly the pitching coach of Triple-A Albuquerque, in another set of Dodgers coaching staff changes. The Dodgers said Hough would be offered another position within the organization, probably as a minor league coach or consultant, but word is Hough would be unlikely to accept and would not remain with the Dodgers organization. After becoming the Dodgers' pitching coach in June 1998, Charlie Hough led the Dodger pitchers to 11 complete games and a 3.68 ERA. At the time Hough was fired, Dodger pitchers had slipped to a 4.47 ERA for 1999, but this still was the sixth best staff ERA in the National League.... geocities.com
