Robin Ventura = White Sox New Manager

[Guest]

I see the Sox had to move in a different direction to be the anti-Cubs.

In fairness to Manto, he's subtracting HR to avoid double counting. That having been said, yeah, its pretty dumb.

 

I remember hearing about this when I was like 6. It made sense to me then. Then I turned 7.

Cubs new president of baseball operations Theo Epstein built two World Series titles on the idea of his hitters taking as many pitches as possible.

 

It’s a new way of baseball that is translating into success. The idea is simple: if you take more pitches, you tire out the pitcher, creating more at-bats, ultimately leading to more runs.

 

New White Sox hitting coach Jeff Manto has a different view when it comes to taking pitches. telling The Mully and Hanley Show that walks set up double-play balls.

 

“Do we want Adam Dunn taking a ball (when it is) off the plate with a man on third and the infield back and you got (Justin) Verlander throwing and he walks him? I don’t know,” Manto said.

 

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Im still stunned that Ventura is a manager already....then I found out former super sub Joe McEwing is his third base coach...mad world. These guys retired an hour ago. Edited November 4, 2011 by KingKongvs.Godzilla

I think this is the quote that had Dan McNeil pretty fired up this afternoon.

Hopefully the Cardinals will take the same anti-Cub approach.

I don't think we've heard such blatant stupidity since Dusty.

It's pretty amazing. It's almost like they're intentionally trying to be anti-saber whether it makes any sense or not.
