Not a good start at all to this game. Down 3 already, with some questionable defense and something well short of spectacular pitching.
Need to do a LOT better, boys, especially with Cleveland already losing today.
AARGH.
I don't disagree with your point at all. We obviously don't know what Rocco says or does behind closed doors, but it appears as though he's reluctant to blame anyone, as it doesn't seem to be in his nature.
In some cases, I agree completely with that. But to imply it's largely the manager's fault alone is being very short-sighted, IMHO.
I feel that some posters here are taking that approach more often than is probably necessary.
Even though it was an interesting and exciting end, we basically got what we deserved tonight. Another game where largely incompetent pitching did us in again.
