Molitor's managing like it's game 163?   Leave him in, what's the harm?

Why the Eff are they pulling him? What a load of $#it. If this team ever wants to be a contender it is going to be because the young guys succeed. What better time to give them a chance to work towards success than when you start the year 8-18? I'm so sick of this ****. I have ****ing had it. I'll start watching games again once they've given up on this godforsaken season and start playing the young guys. No more ****ign Tommy Milone. Jesus.

I think if Meyer is one of the young guys we're counting on to succeed, we're in trouble at this point.  Anything we can salvage from him at this point would be a bit of a bonus.

Like I said, Molitor and Logic do not mix. Amazing people still support this bozo, glad to have you back Plouffe...sheesh

 

I can't stand the guy myself. He chews gum like a crackhead and he constantly spits like a little kid. He annoys the living !@!@@ out of me. Most importantly though, the guy can't manage to save his life.

He is awful, but who made the decision to make him the manager? You guessed it, Terry Ryan.

I didn't think Meyer had any pitch limitation, any other pitcher would've been left in at that point.  He's barely pitched in what 10 days?  But bring in Milone to let him pitch for 5 innings giving up meatballs.

You're just mad that Plouffe missed that double play grounder :)

Why, he had one bad year, that was actually not quite as bad if you account for BABIP. He's the only pitcher in the system with Ace potential and his stuff is amazing when its on (see that 2nd inning). He's been pitching great this year. He obviously lost his cool after giving up that quasi HR, but he's not going to improve his mental game if you don't make him work through it. To pull him after 2.2 innings is absurd and ridiculous, and makes me doubt Molitor as a coach, who I've always defended before. What does this teach Meyer? If you make a mistake, the coach will pull you, so you can't make a mistake. That's a recipe for nerves, anxiety, and self-doubt. Say what you will about Gardy's strategic acumen, but at least he understood how player development works, and that it isn't through tearing down your players' confidence.

Man, I was hoping to see one of those things where you win more than one game in a row. What's it called again?

Streaking? ... wait ... that's dashing through a public place stark naked. Can't be.

 

Refresh my memory.

For all his managerial sins, would you accept pennants?

 

If you're hoping for a pennant this year,   they're gonna need a papal pardon for what they did in April.

Boohoo, a guy said the manager annoys him on a message board. Time to toughen up

He didn't have to act like an immature thirteen year old.
