On October 24, 2011, the Texas Rangers broke a 2-2 tie in the World Series by beating the St Louis Cardinals in Game 5.
Ron Washington, the manager of the Texas Rangers, acknowledged that Tony La Russa, his counterpart with the Cardinals, had been around for a long time was was very successful.
What happened on Monday night was that the Cardinals process did not work. La Russa's call to the bullpen was misunderstood. Twice the name of Jason Motte, a right handed pitcher, went unheard.
Napoli came up to bat. A right handed pitcher was needed but one was not ready. Napoli scored a double.
La Russa, the man of strategy, lost the game to Washington who is known as a manger that reacts to circumstances.
For a process to prevail, it must be fool-proof. La Russa chose to accept the results of a process error. He was not prepared to stall until the right pitcher was ready.
