Greg Hibbard Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I am so angry I want to throw thousands on a credit card tonight for season tickets just behind the 3rd base dugout just to loudly boo Renteria at every home game next season when he’s announced. This is why I shouldn’t have internet access lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Seems like a nice guy. Players seem to like him. Terrible in game manager. Maybe they'll hire offensive and defensive coordinators to handle the strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Maybe we wanted to see if Rodon was gonna be “the guy, the secret weapon” etc for the playoffs. if he dominated there that would have been huge. Now we know not to high-leverage him in the playoffs. no big deal to me. Now we know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the type of make-or-break, big-boy pants type series.......and he failed time and time again. He was trying to teach them what they’ll need to win in the postseason by reminding him them they’ll be at a managerial disadvantage 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Does anyone here really believe Colome was having back spasms that other game? Our bench coach, and Cooper, are just as bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead he once again proved he has no fastball command and couldn’t use his best pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBWSF Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Obviously this was a tough loss. Still, the team isn't hitting. They only had 4 hits tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 He should have been fired a long time ago. He doesn't know how to win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeLessRob Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 He’s a terrible in game manager. But your all kidding yourself, he will be back next year. This front office lacks the balls to do it. Prepare for this debauchery for 162 (hopefully) games next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While everyone is focusing on Rodon/Bummer tonight(as well we should be), I don’t get why Cordero was starting that inning instead of Foster. Cordero got blooped to death but Codi(who probably wasn’t available tonight) and Foster have to be your 7th and 8th inning guys from the right side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 It isn’t just this series guys, Ricky has done this all season long. Using relievers that shouldn’t be used in high leverage situations and then wasting others in games they shouldn’t be in during a blowout. I’m amazed how anyone can back his decision making. This series has just magnified it all. Imagine what decisions he will make come the 2 games we play in the playoffs. He’s not manager material and if the only reason he’s still employed is because he can speak Spanish then that is simply unacceptable because there are many around the sport who is able to do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
