Not really. Or not yet really.
He made good calls last night, granted. I'm pretty good about giving credit where it is due.
But, in my view (which is certainly open to ridicule), he's not done a great job with this team. Maybe some of it is GM dictated (Figgins still here, playing Olivo until his injury), but I'm not all in yet with Sarge.
He's managed for 8.3 seasons, or so. He's 29 games below Pythagorus, and he does so constantly. Last year the M's hit the Pythagorus number on the nose. In '07, his Indians were 5 games over. But in EVERY other season, he's been below the Pythagorus number, including this one.
The M's are hanging around, I'll give you. They are one 6-game win streak from being in the WC race. But they are one 6-game lose streak from being demoralized again. I know that this year wasn't supposed to be great, but it has the chance to be good.
I"m rooting for Wedge. I keep doing that.
But I'm not seeing a guy who pulls the right levers that often. Last night he did, granted.
And he either used League in that situation, or was going with Wilhelmsen for two innings. A pick 'em call.
But he was good last night. No argument from me.
