| Analysis: Don't assume that McClellan is the man now. For starters, he was originally warming up as a side session, having not pitched in four days. Manager Tony La Russa's comments about Motte after the game were somewhat cryptic: "We had McClellan behind him if we needed him. Some day, (Motte) will look at these and he will learn from them. We're not at that point yet. Certainly, when you had a couple of guys on, I thought it was time to go get him." |
