Lou explodes in the post game.

[imb]

well if all they need to do is roll up their sleeves

 

that sounds like an easy enough thing to do, wonder why nobody ever noticed that in the past

 

I don't think its that easy to do. The Brewers were told all they needed to do was untuck their shirts, but they haven't been able to do that for awhile either :)

 

do you think the "untuck" thing sort of chicken-and-egged the brewers?

 

all those fat wisconsonites realized that they couldn't untuck their shirts, and because of that, the brewers can't win any more.

Now Soriano's refusal to bunt has become a fact. My brains are about to be blown out of my ears.

Kaplan needs to get off Soto's jock. No, he didn't get the bunt down, but he should never be bunting there. Perhaps Geo should be asked to steal bases since it's a part of the game. You don't ask players to steal second who can't steal and you don't ask a guy who can't bunt to bunt.

 

The least he could do is play a little CF since thats a part of the game too.

[Gingerballs Lives]

Kaplan called Soto mentally weak?

 

What a dbag.

 

Without a doubt.

 

I hope someone explodes at Lou for managing like Howry.

 

/chortles

 

I assume "howry" is another way of saying a four-letter word?

 

I like it.

I just love how these people are focusing on Soto's inability to bunt rather than whether Soto should have been bunting at all.

 

This is filling me with unspeakable rage.

[SouthSideRyan]

Oh man, these callers that love the bunt. Talking about Pujols being able to bunt.

 

Last time Pujols executed a sac bunt, Geo was 18.

 

 

Kaplan is pretty much calling Geo mentally weak.

 

Are you serious?? That's terrible.

 

Soto was killing the ball tonight. Bunting with him was a terrible decision.

 

Yeah, he said "hitter's talk themselves out of being able to bunt." "It's part of the game, everyone should be able to do it." Then some idiot called about Pujols and Rolen being able to bunt.

 

Rolen and Pujols have a combined 2 sac bunts in their careers. But I know Scott could do more if he wanted to cause he's white.

Yet Kaplan was watching those games, how crazy.

That's amazing. Kap swears that he turned on the TV a couple of years ago and saw Pujols bunting. Someone needs to call Kap and call him out on his bullHowry

[sneakypower]

i actually vaguely remember Pujols sac bunting a runner to 3rd against us in like 2004. Farns walkoff BBed in the winning run if i'm remembering right. dumb play regardless.

That settles it. Geovany Soto can't bunt as well as Albert Pujols.

 

I've had enough of this crap. DFA his no-bunting butt!!!!!!

yeah i see now you're right. oops

Amazing, so that was his only Sac bunt of his career right there.

Hopefully Kaplan's recent tantrums will ensure he wont be back next year. He's well beyond being insufferable to listen to.

[SouthSideRyan]

Pujols's one and only sac bunt in his career was against the White Sox in '01. He was facing Ken Vining and had assorted dreck batting behind him and the Cards were up 3 late, so it was also a terrible call.

 

Kaplan(if he isn't full of Howry) likely applauded it because he wanted a solid vet like Bobby Bonilla up there rather than this do-nothing rookie Albert anyway.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

5-4 Reds. I'm happy but I'm not, you know what I mean, guys?

It really shouldn't be hard for them to hire someone who knows what they're talking about.

 

I've seen him on tv enough to know that he likely eats Howry-cakes before stepping behind the mike.

I feel the same way. I want us to earn it.

He's awful. His analysis was always snotty and usually off base as it was, but he's just gone off the deep end with this latest team slump.

I did, only I wasn't so rude about it.

[Bruce Miles]

Lou finished before we could ask about the bunt. But I will tomorrow.
