this guy is a goat. can nobody manage in the big leagues anymore?

the bottom of the 7th is managing 101 and he screwed it up worse than I've ever seen a manager botch an inning.

Blanco should never have bunted ever. He should have been pulled for someone who can bunt and let Barret or whoever else finish the final 3 innings.

Izturis should never have batted period. Had enough of that guy in LA

And Darryl Ward shouldn't be in the major leagues. He does have the power to impressively swing through any pitch though. Once a season he actually makes contact.

What a wasted performance by Lily

And who signed Braden Looper up for Cy Young candidate?

Agreed. Lou is a likeable guy but he's not a great manager by any means. Perhaps the funniest thing about him is that he's OBSESSED with righty/lefty matchups. If there's a righty on the mound he will bring in a lefty hitting .100 before he would bring in a righty hitting .300. Hence, Daryl Ward as the pinch hitter.

I hear ya. I was thinking the same thing. Izturis never even took a swing and Ward I think, is still swinging and never looked. Not watching the game but thats what I got from the play by play. :shrug:
