Bmr31 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I apologize if this was already mentioned. Remember when Jerry got tossed today? Well a HUGE play in that game was the call for teh double steal. Does anyone know who made that call? Id be very surprised if Jerry Manuel would have the balls to make that call. Anyway, whoever made it, i want as our manager. THat is the type of aggressiveness that we need!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THat is the type of aggressiveness that we need!!! its pretty much an unwritten rule that when a manager gets tossed he calls the game from the tunnel to the clubhouse..or maybe in todays hi tech world he calls it from the clubhouse via a cell phone... i'd really be surprised if anyone but manuel was really managing today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeportHeather Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I believe that, in cases that the manager gets tossed, Joe Nossek takes over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Nossek is the "manager" but I swear every single time they showed a picture of him in the dugout he was on the phone. The question is who was on the other end, Kenny or Jerry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 manuel managed as baggio said - JM doesn't use a double steal much but it has been done before with him - you need smart enough baserunners to do it and it seems we do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 The double steal wasnt too surprising, but what was VERY surprising is what he did in the 1st inning. He was ALL up in the Ump's face. He sparked the team and the crowd. Good job Jerry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 there are little things that JM does when he really really wants a game - I can't describe that per se, it is an art, not a science playing baseball and reading JM - but the toss out and the 1st inning double steal indicated JM sure wanted to win the series againt the Twins -\ best thing is we won with only 3 hits - you don't do that all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Manuel has recently stated that he wants to put the team in motion a lot more when the bats aren't clicking and he is doing exactly that. I've been happy with his managing lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI1020 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I'm on his side, like him much more than KW. Hope he keeps his edge. I think the team will appreciate it and respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafacosta Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I liked what JM did yesterday... but that wasn´t enough to our offense get it going... just 3 hits and 2 RBIs... When Frank Thomas will put a hurt for 2 days in a row... he belted a HR, 2b, 2 walks on Saturday but nothing yesterday 0-3, no walks, 1 K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Nossek is the "manager" but I swear every single time they showed a picture of him in the dugout he was on the phone. The question is who was on the other end, Kenny or Jerry? i can assure you it wasnt kw on the other end of the phone nor was he in the dugout or anywhere near the clubhouse yesterday......i had the pleasure of seeing him a few rows behind me the whole game... i went up to him and told him to get used to viewing the game from there and then went and sent my beer guy down to him with a beer..........he and jr had a few words from what i hear.. this was the second of many games that kw was "riding" the seats instead of the clubhouse phone..........its a nice change huh.........

It's a wonderful change. I've often thought the KW was drowning the real JM. I think there is a really good manager in there, somewhere. I ripped on him for not getting upset before so now I have to praise him for doing the right thing and putting up a fight for the team.

elrockinMT Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Doesn't much matter who was managing. I love it! It's what we needed to do to get things happening and we won. What else matters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
