Don’t Blame it on Bobby
Look, I’m not an apologist for Bobby Cox’s bullpen management. While I recognize that it’s significantly more difficult to manage a bullpen than it is to criticize someone’s bullpen management after the fact, I have no illusions that Bobby is a master of that particular art.
But let’s be real. You can’t blame last night’s loss on his decision to pull Tommy Hanson after 8.
Blame for this game, and every game we’ve lost the last few weeks fall squarely on the shoulder of our big men, Chipper “Getting Ready for Hunting Season” Jones and Brian “Even Goggles Make Me Blind” McCann.
Neither of them has gotten a single hit in a whole week.
Not one hit in a whole week.
As in, Corky Miller would be an upgrade at catcher right now.
If the team lives and dies by their leaders, we’re dying by them now. I guess that’s how it should be.
I comfort myself by thinking of the money I’m saving by not having to pay for playoff tickets, now.
