Kruger looked safe

Kruger looked safe

Thought so too

Why manage 10% of the time like a ****ing mental moron because you think it's "unorthodox"? If he would manage like he does 90% of the time all the time we wouldn't have these arguments. It's not just making moves that don't work it's making moves just to be against the grain and they are moves that are dumb as ****. Just manage the game. We've got a lot of talent and they are coaching in practice to make them better. But these wtf moves in game aren't that hard to not do.

Nail on head.

2-2, bases juiced with 1 out. 5th inning

I thought we were down 15-1 with the way this thread was going. Glad we're still in it.

[CadaverDawg]

What could he possibly gloat about? Everyone in this thread wants us to win. It wouldn't change the fact that Cohen has managed this game like a clown.

Exactly.

He's unorthodox 100% of the time. You pay attention to it the 10% of the time where the decisions backfire and he looks like a moron.

We could be, ha

[I seen it dawg]

I know he's not perfect and better at this than me but I'd like Cohen to at least not make moves that I know while sitting my fat ass on my couch are wtf and totally dumb and won't work.

I'm with you

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

Shit. Reid k's. Up to Maple Hammer

[maroonmania]

Boy, Humphreys had a pitch to hit there, he just missed it.

[engie]

i hear ya. But you did admit it was poorly managed. We should have left Sexton in. I think everybody can agree that was the safer route there. We gambled and it backfired.

Yes. That was poorly managed. But does Cohen actually make those calls? He didn't with Butch. Not until the Ross Mitchell fiasco last year. So, ultimately, I don't get why people are on his ass about pitching decisions while assuming Wes Johnson hung the moon.

For all the hand wringing -- this season has been the most traditionally our pitching staff has been handled in his 8 or 9 years here.

No one questions it if Billingsley is the same guy he was on Tuesday night.

If Robson gets on, I'd PH Rooker for Marerro.

Cerrano........

Dammit

No I pay attention to all of them. And there are many wtf moments that end up not being egregious and some work and some don't. Why go for it on 4th and 18 on your own 10 in the second quarter because 1/100 it will work? Don't be dumb and dumber bc you are saying there's a chance. That's not unorthodox that's hold my beer and watch see are the moves that are easy to not do but for some reason we do it.

[MarketingBully]

That was ball 3....

[maroonmania]

Shit. Reid k's. Up to Maple Hammer

And he K's as well. Bottom of our lineup will be up in the 7th. That was really our opportunity there.
