Bill Belecheat also still widely considered the best nfl coach of all time... even with everything else.

Do I like the cheating scandle? No Do I really care that much.. no... because while everyone may be furious at Hinch - Cheating is rampant in most sports. So I'd most likley be a hypocrite due to ignorance If I stomped my foot and said no.

I think a lot of people were pretty shocked by how dumb some of his moves were...

yeah I was the Grinch that stole Christmas suggesting the guy wasn't going to be a starter in another thread. He didn't even last a month.... hard to throw that hard with a slightly wonky release and endure Hopefully he is okay

lol... ill be a ghost from this board in about a day or two - It's football time now.

bauer... We need LH bats also. Don't need another RH -

that would be awesome... he prob wants to stick it to cleveland multiple games.

It was a blast... until the last two weeks. They have been pretty painful. Just being honest.

yeah our pitcher starting this game is debatably a minor league pitcher. We were kind of fucked once keuchel shit the bed. That being said we walked the game away - with a bullpen that had been good al year and quite frankly choked in a moment that was too big for them.

God we can dream he doesn't come back.. it wasn't this year that most of us realized how bad he is. We gave known this the entire time.

again 4-28 with risp

4-28 with runners in scoring position. like 8 walks in 2 innings? Yeah nuts haven't dropped yet.... Can't go far in the playoffs with only 2 starting pitchers though

lol mazara.... bro

while i dont neccesarily blame Ricky Retario for this one he is so out of his level its astonishing.

collins is horrible sorry -

yes our bullpen did choke but like Balta said The A's didnt get themselves out - they didn't swing at non competitive pitches and forced our guys to throw strikes. That is how you win baseball games - you can have all the talent in the world but in the end good 3-1 2-0 counts are how you win baseball games.

this is very true - jose has been clutch all year But if you watch the yankees... the Dodgers and good Red sox world series teams. They don't go up there and swing at every pitch. That doesn't fucking work - until we can learn that we might be good but never post season winning material.

3 biggest AB's of his life.

achilles heal of this team striking in the playoffs... swing swing swing swing swing at everything That's not championship baseball

time to be a legend Jose

its okay keep crying it its making you feel better.

lol... you dont think coaches have an affect on their players mentality? but you want to call my take dumb... LMAO

I don't blame this one AS much on ricky as others - but every move he made failed. The team also was clearly chocking and not relaxed. Again I don't think this one necessarily was his fault - but it wasn't some exoneration of his shitty ability either.

if it makes you guys feel better to keep saying this obnoxious shit that's fine. But ricky is supposed to be the easy going guy that makes everyone play relaxed. This performance look relaxed to you?

I haven't witnessed a choke job like what I'm witnessing here in forever. Just choke after choke out of the bullpen - handing them runs.
