Much better Chi Chi

much better inning.

 

[darrylgann]

Wow. How many pitches was that? Good half inning, Chi Chi.

I think it's on Leonys. With a full count Leonys doesn't have to swing. I don't think he understands the game. Bannister was glaring at him as he walked in. The pitch wasn't hittable.

Martin is a mental midget, so putting a "thought pattern" on him is absurd.

Sorry, but that's a dugout fuck-up 100%.

8.

Rev made a fair point, going on contact may not have been up to him. In either case, the execution was poor by somebody. I'm getting pretty aggravated with Beltre lately. His little hot streak didn't last long.

Agree with you Romeo on that. He has really not coming thru like we are used to seeing when the opportunity arises.

Leonys didn't have to swing Romeo. If he lets the pitch go like a decent hitter would then it's 2 on, nobody out. I'm sure Bannister didn't want him to swing at anything with 3 balls. He doesn't think out there.

That's exactly my point. He's not a decent hitter. He's dumb. A manager has to know his personel. It's ultimately on the manager. As a supervisor, if I choose the wrong person for a specific task, and that person does a poor job, who is it ultimately on? It's on me for not knowing or choosing my personel correctly.

Nice job Chi Chi.

Well said, and 100% right on sir.

It was a bad call by the manager, with that player at the plate and said player is gonna screw it up every time

DDJ just keeps producing.

DDJ is a Jim Dandy

 

[donaldson79]

I've been harping for - I'm sure too long for some of ya - about how we should take the "decision making" process out of Martin's hands; or is that head?

Happy for us, because Leonys is a bench player at best

He and Andrus together have less than half a brain

 

[donaldson79]

And listen to this fucking announcing team making excuses for Elvis swinging at pitches a foot plus outta the zone.

I'm losing my mind.

 

[Bmurph]

2 run bomb coming

I would say it's on both. Which is what I should've said here. Leonys should know that if he lets the unhittable pitch go then it's a win. I won't ever just blame a manager in that situation when a player screws up. He's a ML baseball player.

He puts EA out there almost every night. Is it Bannister's fault every time EA makes an error?

That's apples and oranges, justin. But, ultimately if Banny continues to let him roll out there at the status quo then yes, Banny should face some scrutiny.
