I’ve noticed during this losing streak, that Bochy just stands in that one spot and the only one he talks to is Maddox. Never see him talking to any of the players. It’s hard to see if he congratulates a player after they have a big hit or a good play. Just found that a little unusual.

Very Funny. Probably helps his retirement too
I was thinking about that yesterday, but I imagine since he gets paid whether he is cut or not, he probably gets credit in his retirement. Especially since he was rostered for part of this month already.

Bochy is an idiot. First he sits Carter. And then bats Grossman third.

Why did they bring Carter up to sit on the bench. Bochy is a mental case.

I will wait to condemn. After the stress of making your MLB debut I wonder how much sleep the kid got before and after last night’s game. Fully expect him to be out there tomorrow and for the next series

He has to keep from disrespecting his veterans. He might lose the clubhouse if he disrespects them. Lol

Seriously, he might be bordering on dementia.
Lost my wife two years ago to dementia and you may be right. It causes strange behavior.

Think Carter has about 600OPS against LHP. So Bochy thinks this is his best lineup

But to me where is Huff? Maybe he pinch hits for Hedges early

Ouch sorry. I have seen it as well.
But Bochy has No dementia but he is favoring a guy like Kenedy over Kelly. Hate to see that

I guess he thinks Ian can close

A bit of a long shot

Sorry to hear that DT. We lost my mom back in 2006 from dementia.

This line up is a mystery. Hedges over Huff? J Smith? Duran should be at 3rd and Carter in LF. Grossman hitting 3 hole?

So it is basically Smith intead of Carter. I guess even Josh has seniority over the rookie. That's an odd way to make baseball decisions. An odd and a losing way.
