Sweeping the Rays in Florida will be exciting. No clue who’s pitching. Ryu at some point probably.

Am I hallucinating, or is Biggio actually batting 8th?

what in the world...

what is this lineup. Please explain Montoyo

I don’t know what possible explanation there can be for batting Jansen 3rd and biggio 8th. What a ridiculous lineup

Post #8 » by **Schad** » Fri Aug 21, 2020 9:57 pm

So, yeah, that's indefensible.

One of our best hitters batting 8th, with Drury and Shaw ahead of him? Odd.

Gurriel's having himself quite a game in a very unconventional sort of way.

Edit: apparently he didn't Matrix quite enough.

That slide was insane lool

The glove did move slightly - almost imperceptible, but out is probably the right call.

2nd time this year the idiot has had Espinal bunt with two strikes in a situation where it made no sense. 2nd time it has ended in a strikeout.

2nd time it has ended in a loss?

Montoya at it again.

* Pulls Shoemaker at ~80 pitches for no reason at all. He doesn't seem to want a starter to throw more than 90 pitches.

* Habitually calling for bunts with 2 strikes.

* Batting Jansen at 3 and Biggio at 8? What?

He may be the worst manager we've ever had. I almost hope we lose this one so we can tally another L on games that Montoya has lost for us.

2nd time you directly tell your young player, "I don't believe in you".

It can't be good for a player's confidence to know your manager thinks your hitting skills are about on par with a NL pitcher. He had McGuire bunt with 2 strikes yesterday. He happened to get it down, but that still doesn't make it the correct decision.

Shoemaker has an extensive injury history.

Anyway, can’t wait to see if Font or whatever position player we bring in to pitch in the bottom half can hang on to the lead.

Lol, good thing Biggio was hitting 8th! 12 D chess.

Every button Montoyo pushed in this inning worked out. Christ I bet he told Grichuk specifically to hit a double at this point.

Trust the Process!
Trust the Results!
