I gotta admit, I didn't watch any of the game tonight, but just watched the highlights. Holy shit, Bianco. Just like he walks out to the mound with his arms stuck way out like he's swole...he must also think he's got a big set of nuts, because his cocky OM attitude bit him in the ass against the ACC's best. Well Mikey, you're nuts are small and you got Papi'd squared in em tonight. Congrats.
He is kind of weird. I remember last year at the Governor's Cup when he knew we had the better team and were probably going to kick their butts- which we did, he made the umpires and Cohen all come out to home plate after the initial meeting to go over something. Cohen just walked away and shook his head. You could tell that he was real anxious and tense.
And then it may be just me, but when Ellis tried to catch that ball with his bare hand, it kind of seemed like Bianco just wanted to kind of be out there to take it all in.
Part of it he actually explained why he shouldn't have pitched to him. Some shit about 3 leftys in a row and it's a tough spot. Uhhhh bring the lefty in you've had warming up for 20 minutes. Also said Greenwood has been good for us all year and felt like he could get it done, blah, blah. He basically talked himself in a circle and made it even more convincing that he shat himself. Oh and also said they did it earlier and McCarthy hurt them. Said Massie had already been out there whatever that meant.
Sounded like...."I didn't know what to do so I stayed in the dugout. Greenwood is so wigged out I was scared to take him out for fear of him slapping me and I didn't want to interrupt Allen who was taking his mask off and barking between every pitch. I had already went out once and put in a lefty so I didn't think they would fall for it again so I left the lefty in the pen I had warming up just for the 3 leftys in that spot. It is just so hard to think and make a decision in such a tough spot in the game and such a big moment that I just decided to keep my stubby ass in the dugout and hope Papi would hit a laser beam into someone's glove."
As far as McCarthy- walking both Papi and McCarthy wouldn't have been a terrible decision. Their fifth hitter had struggled and then you get him out and you get the bottom of the order for the 10th. It certainly would have been less questionable than what happened.
