Wtf man...

Smart call Buck.

Hi my names Ricky Renteria, and I want you to buy my management book about how to put your players in the worst position to succeed in their most pressure packed moments. 

This is ridiculous. 

Just disgusting

cough Girardi cough

I'm not enjoying large chunks of this game

Sanchez swung on 2 pitches that were clearly outside the strike zone.

Ok Trayce, here's your moment.

Wouldn't mind it.

Trayce has won it for the Sox before. Do it again please.

So LH have a .900 OPS against this guy and Ricky has him bunt to go down 0-2. I think I have seen enough. When it is time to win, he cannot be making the decisions.

Popped up to first baseman in fair territory and didn't leave the batters box 

Right, that deserves to be pulled. Doesn't mean he hasn't been excessive in his use of this tactic for most of the season.

Like I said earlier, Heyman seemed to get told he wouldn't be.

Ova.

Sox tried real hard to lose this one and succeeded

It’s also become a crutch decision that has not worked and has seemed to show he does not trust his players

 

There goes our winning streak.

 

 

Can we fire Renteria yet? Unreal

Ricky is a bad manager.

Five chances in a row to get the tying/winning runs in from 3rd blown...JESUS.

Some really bad managing tonight.  The loss is fine, but this type of high school softball crap can't continue when you are a contender.

POTY.  Ricky’s boys don’t quit, but the skipper sure doesn’t want them to come back with his in-game tactics.

Is there a statistic that demonstrates team failure to plate a run with a man on 3rd and less than two outs?

We have to be running away from the rest of the league with that.

 

Brutal game.  Two extremely stupid outs on the basepaths and those messed up final two outs
