Fire him before it\u2019s too late. Send away the pitching and hitting coach while you’re at it. If you’re really desperate to keep HoJo with the organization, make him the new bench coach. <\/p>\n
Why give away 4 outs? Why pinch hit a guy that\u2019s hot for a guy that wasn\u2019t watching the game and hasn\u2019t been watching what Lindstrom was throwing. We all know this team needs confidence. so what kind of confidence does it show Castro in that spot? Murphy that he\u2019s replaced defensively and would\u2019ve been up in the ninth? Reyes when you won\u2019t let him steal early in the count or only hit and run and tell him when to go? Or that you’re constantly bunting in front of him like he can’t drive the guys in himself. <\/p>\n
Drawing the infield in in the first. Managing scared. Manuel set the stage from the very beginning saying \u201cEven though it\u2019s the first inning, I don\u2019t think you guys are going to score enough runs to win if we let this run score.\u201d Well, ask and you shall receive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
