quote:Couple of losses? So you honestly think this weekend was "just baseball"? Burning Stallings in a tie game, pitching Bugg for 1 batter, and not bunting Deichmann (Friday) and KRob (Sunday) with runners on 1st and 2nd and 0 outs, is what you consider "just baseball"? C'mon man...
then proceed to freak the frick out after a couple of losses
ETA: I don't normally flip out about CPM, but he made some serious frick ups this weekend.

I honestly think both sides are right because they're really not arguing the same things.
I've been hard on Mainieri because it was so damn frustrating that the correct calls were right there in front of his face. I made the thread listing them out. 2 or 3 were tough calls. He missed on those. But another 2 or 3 were just real head scratchers. Gambles he had no business taking. I was pissed. I wanted to be mad and talk about it and let it out.
But everyone else is right, too. I knew it Friday, but that wasn't the point. This is just 1 weekend. We are such a talented team in every aspect of the game. I think we sweep Bama in Hoover where we always play so well. I think PM can be a good coach at times but I think he got in his own way this weekend. We were one bregman half-step away from winning Friday and one Foster dive away from winning Sunday.
Both those two thoughts aren't related. People have been going back and forth using each against the other when really they're both true. They're both relevant. And no one is "wrong".
I'm so ready for tonight. I want a good feeling again. I want to kick ULL's arse because frick 'em. We all (fans, team, coaches) feel the same way.
