Champs @ Sandy Eggo 9/7

This renders all your arguments invalid:

So, leaving Cabrera in for defense in the 8th and 9th was OK? Fine.

Glad the team won it last year. Doesn't look too good late in the season this year.

I ran across a phrase the other day, "competency extrapolation", meaning that being an expert in one area seemingly allows one to speak with authority in another area. So a PhD in nuclear physics may think, because of this idea, that they can speak with authority on economic policy.

Bochy managed well last year, and it worked out great, better than anyone could have imagined going into the year. No one can take that away from him. No one wants to. And it cuts him some slack this year, and years ahead, I guess.

But that was last year. But he is not open to second guessing? (Asks the guy who has no competency in much of anything....)

Grounding into 1 double play can be deemed an accident.............grounding into a handful and stranding runners each time is just not playing with any awareness.

And then all of the stuff that he said in that last post ^

Agreed looking at his career it is much more likley that last year was the aberration not this year. I think he has made many mistakes this year, does that make him a bad manager, of coarse not, would he be my first choice, no way.

It seems BB has always had trouble turning to youth and in our current situation that may NOT be what we need right now. I know it is not going to change and as much i might like it to, I also know we could much worse.

Apparently once a Manager wins a WS, they no longer make bad decisions from that time on.

Dude, I'm just fucking wit ya. Of course we can second guess Bochy. I always try to remember while I'm doing it that he has access to 1000 times the info I do on a daily basis, though.

What a relief! I was getting worried there for a minute.

 

[the_broom]

I don't think we can really throw Bochy under the bus this year....has he made some mistakes in hindsight? Absolutely...but looking at what he's had to work with this year I think there are times he has a couple options available...but both are bad...

BB was a perfect fit for the 2010 Giants. I feel that his style of management worked well with the way the 2010 team was structured. BB appears to me as a manager who relies on his vets, plays for the 3 run homer and will go with his pitchers as far as humanly possible. In 2010 that formula worked. Our pitching was stellar. We had a vet presense that was producing. We used the long ball quite effectively. Posey had 18, Huff 26, Uribe 24 (bigger loss than I ever imagined), Burrell 18 and Torres 16. Then we also had Ross who seemed to find his stroke at just the right time. This year it all changed. Injuries and very poor production from our vets changed the landscape dramatically. I just feel that BB was/is unable to adjust. Not really all his fault. That's his management style. It just doesn't work in this situation.

Bochy convinced me last year that he knows what he doing. When it counted in the playoffs, he made every right move. I know they were right because they were exactly the moves I would have made.

And gp was Sabean's second choice for manager if a deal could not be reached to get Bochy out of San Diego.

Well, there you have it...




But what would our boy, Nick, have done?

Something about "The best deals are the ones not done" comes to mind

I heard it came down to the third interview and BB won on cranium size.
