Do you actually watch how they take pitches?  Play D?  Hit the cutoff man?  Hold a man on first base?  Even catch a simple pop up?

None of it is good.  AND IT IS LOSING THEM GAMES.

That is on coaching 100%.  I don't know how many of you have played teams sports in your lives....but for those that have you know the difference between a good coach and a bad one and how much of a difference that can make on a teams performance. 

 

You are raising an entirely different issue than the one I was addressing.

Managers don’t take teams to the next level, not in baseball.

And you disagreeing with me just reassures me.

LOL I give you Earl Weaver and Buck S because I promise you that those teams would not have been nearly as good without them.

But you keep arguing with me just because...it is me. 

I could care less.

He is pointing out facts. 
 

 

They don’t pinch hit much and when they do it works. 

So you are at the point in this debate that you are defending the fact that Holliday and Cowser were pinch hit for by a scrub and a rookie with no MLB hits lifetime.

Seriously.....this is what you are saying?

I would not have hit for Holliday. 
 

I think both decisions are defensible. I think it’s overreacting by the fan base.

No.  I am not.  The fact is Hyde does not instill any confidence in me that he can have the Os doing things "the right way".

At all. 

That is just playing basic fundamental baseball.  Even a JAG can do that.  We can't right now.

The point is this is a recurring pattern from Hyde. 

By the book.

%'s.

No feel.  He plays it safe.  That way he can never be blamed. 

Good to great managers do not do that.

How many rings did the two get between them?

The book apparently works.

If you honestly think that Earl Weaver and Buck S were not 2 of the greatest Os managers of all time?

Why are you here?

You are obviously not a real fan.

Does it?  Explain how.  Because last I knew we were swept in the playoffs last year and have been playing HORRIBLE fundamental baseball since May or so.

Do you ever get tired of being miserable every single second of your life or does it bring you great joy?

I asked you a question.

Heck you can have all the other teams Buck managed as well.

I just called Earl Weaver and Buck S 2 of the greatest managers of O's history all time, and got told by your buddy that I was wrong.

And I am the miserable one?

Ok lol.

I didn't say if they were or were not great managers.

I asked how many rings they won as manager.

For the record.  Earl was great, but should have stayed retired.

Buck is hugely overrated.
