OXON HILL, Md. -- Ned Yost enjoyed watching the Cleveland Indians lights-out bullpen go to work in the playoffs because it was so familiar.It was amazing to see -- to watch games and kind of understand the feeling that other teams had against us, the Kansas City Royals manager said.Like the Royals on the way to the World Series in 2015, the Indians mixed and matched relievers, leaning on Andrew Miller for multiple innings in different spots and turning to Cody Allen and Bryan Shaw in big situations. And while the Chicago Cubs even kept closer Aroldis Chapman in longer than usual on the way to the title, managers dont expect the 2016 postseason to change the way bullpens are managed.The postseason management of the bullpen is extremely different than the regular season management, incoming Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said Monday. But what does work (is) if you have those types of relievers that have multi-inning performance, who can throw parts of innings and continue, thats very valuable.Miller pitched two innings or more in seven appearances, and Chapman went 2 2/3 in Game 5 of the World Series -- mostly out of necessity. Cleveland manager Terry Francona conceded at the time he wouldnt be able to use Miller like that during the regular season.Terry is right: You cant do that during the regular season, youre going to blow somebody out, Yost said. But in the playoffs, its a lot easier to do. You got to understand, Andrew Miller, these guys dont grow on trees. They are few and far in between, guys that are that durable that can pitch like he did, especially down the stretch.Millers example isnt changing how teams approach the offseason, either. Boston Red Sox general manager Dave Dombrowski said his priority was getting an eighth-inning guy, filling a specific role in front of closer Craig Kimbrel, and did so by acquiring right-hander Tyler Thornburg from the Milwaukee Brewers.Manager John Farrell considers it important to define roles over 162 games.If you look at our usage over our last couple of years the one thing that we have had is that one guy other than the closer where weve used (him) at the highest-leverage point in the seventh or eighth inning, Farrell said. Ideally, yeah, you can give the seventh, eighth and ninth inning to three different relievers and let it run out regardless of where you are in the lineup and what the score is on the winning side. I think our main goal is to identify a guy that its not so much a matchup situation.Franconas theory -- an evolving one around baseball -- is that the three biggest outs arent always the final ones. Theres still value in closing, but if the heart of the order is up in the seventh, eighth or even the sixth inning, that could be the spot for a team to use its best reliever.While playing bullpen bingo became popular in the postseason, Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin doesnt think its practical during the regular season. It just requires depth and talent, which the Phillies now have more of after signing Joaquin Benoit.The deeper you are in a bullpen the easier it is to go to a real good stopper type pitcher in the sixth or seventh or fifth inning like they were able to do in the World Series, Mackanin said Tuesday. Over the course of a six-month season certainly its harder to do, but the deeper you are in the bullpen the easier it is.Stacking a bullpen with two or three closer types like the Indians gives them a leg up in employing that strategy.I think what teams are trying to do or what successful teams have done have had a seventh- or eighth- or ninth-inning guy, and all three of them can pitch in the ninth inning, Yost said. All three of them can close. When you have that, man, thats a huge advantage late in the game.Even though the new MLB collective bargaining agreement didnt include the addition of a 26th player to rosters, New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said theres a trend toward using more bullpen arms. Phillies GM Matt Klentak thinks more off days built into the schedule will help teams if they want to lean more on top relievers, who have more value thanks to the lessons of recent postseasons.As an industry, were appreciating the value that those players can bring, Klentak said, a day after the Giants gave closer Mark Melancon a $62 million, four-year deal, the richest ever for a reliever. During the postseason, as we watched the games and we saw these managers using their elite arms in the higher leverage situation but in earlier innings, we talked a lot internally in the office about whether we thought that was something that might become more mainstream during the regular season. ...I think the fact that some teams had some success with that in October would lead us to think that a lot of managers will probably try that.---AP Baseball Writer Ronald Blum and Sports Writer Howard Fendrich contributed.Air Max 97 Undefeated Fake . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand.

He seems to have been unearthed from nowhere at Manchester United. There was not a lot of talk about him. Teddy Sheringham: Played for United between 1997 and 2001 When Michael Owen came in all those years ago, I think a lot of people knew about him beforehand and were expecting him to come on the scene and just explode. Thats exactly what he did.With Rashford, he seems to have come from nowhere and he definitely knows where the net is. It is fantastic to have another one coming through the ranks. He has got a bit of pace, gets in behind, but just being at the right place at the right time is a knack for any striker.You can teach it but if yoou have that born into you, its a lovely knack to have.dddddddddddde seems to be scoring all types of goals at the moment, which is great to see. He seems to have been unearthed from nowhere. Teddy on Marcus And Sheringham, who was part of Uniteds treble winners in 1999, believes the battle for fourth spot in the Premier League is hard to call.He added: Another one of my old teams, West Ham, are vying for that spot. Youd like to think that the experience of Manchester United would get them into the top four.But West Ham are playing with such composure at the moment, and belief, that it could be their position as well.Obviously, Manchester City will have something to say about that. They are a formidable team with outstanding players, so it makes it exciting for that little slot.You can watch Manchester United in action against Everton on Super Sunday.By purchasing a Sky Sports Day Pass for £6.99 or Sky Sports Week Pass for £10.99, you can enjoy access to all seven Sky Sports channels and watch on a TV with a NOW TV Box or on a range of devices.Also See:LVG: I dont know if Ill stayLVG targets top-three finish ' ' '
