OFFICIAL TLR HEAD SCRATCHER THREAD

Post by M1IRONMIKE »

This thread is dedicated to all the head scratching moves TLR makes

Let me start:

Why in the hell did TLR bunt with Barden to get to Wainwright the other night?

Why in the hell is Ludwick not playing every day?

Why in the hell is Rasmus not playing every day?

Why in the hell did he send Wainwright out to start the 7th inning Friday Night? He was gassed and over 100 picthes after completing the 6th inning. Why do we carry 100 pitchers?

This is going to be a mega-thread.

Do we just start from today? I guess I have to because I'd still be typing after the game this afternoon.

yes we better start with this weekend because I can go way back to things like him pinch hitting for Mcgwire several years ago, and screwing ozzie in 96,

I would add "in center field".

why in the hell was ryan trying to steal third down by 5 in the 8th. Please tell me it was his own bonehead decision and not TLR. If it was TLR it is definitely a head scratcher.

Didn't they learn their lesson a few days ago when he was thrown out stealing in a similar situation.

Tony's weird 'be a man...BE A MAN!' deal where he leaves a guy in long after it's obvious he can't do it or has had enough.

Meanwhile, other players languish on the bench for no apparent reason.

TLR's record speaks for itself, I guess. But, sometimes... #-o :rant:

Does his record really speak volumes? The better managers in history have like a .53/.55% win %. Someone has to win more than the others right?

That's like 87 wins a season.

And the best hitters in baseball only succeed about 35% of the time. Does that mean they all suck?
