guys...at a certain point your pitchers need to get batters out. the greatest manager in the world still would be in this situation. i know you all hate willie but what the hell is he supposed to do? you put a future HOF pitcher on the mound you hope he can give you a good start. i dont think he left him in too long etiher, the pen has been worse than the starters so id rather see if glavine could somehow work his way out of it and rely less on the pen.
if this is the last game of the season i dont blame omar or willie, this is simply players not getting the job done down the stretch. willie cant do anything about wright not knowing how to complete a force play or throw to first, reyes forgetting how to hit like a leadoff batter, starters from throwing a strike and a pen from placing the ball right over the plate. |
