So while it’s not a gimme, he should have caught the ball. He’s just not a good left fielder because it’s not his natural position."Peters should have been in left at that point. Rochio ends the game with a fly out to left.I like todays lineup. Mune needs a wake up call.

22 hours ago22 hr From the Sun-Times, talking about Muni:‘‘It’s not like moving him in the lineup is going to magically fix his swing,’’ Venable said. ‘‘As you look at how we’re compiling our lineups and want to give yourself the best chance, he’s still a part of that.’’
22 hours ago22 hr This is just my personal opinion, last night was a soul crusher.Just win five more games to become the first team to go from a 100 loss year to a winning one in consecutive seasons.Anything over and above that is gravy in my book.But frankly right now, I don't know if they can even do that as in win five more games.We'll see.

Mune needs a wake up call.Sam took it upon himself to position himself to play ridiculously shallow and lean toward Center. Rocchio saw the gap and dumped the ball out there. Arguably it was the Manager's responsibility to call for a "no doubles defense" and motion Sam to play back. It is too simplistic to blame Sam for not having the physical skills to play the outfield. He can play out there but he has to be smarter. He took it upon himself to make a decision that cost the game.

22 hours ago22 hr 6 minutes ago, fathom said:Astros game not having someone run for Romo was terribleYeah, but that's still one of those marginal managerial decisions that they all make. Murphy opening after already opening twice against the Guardians and getting tagged last time was a terrible decision that cost them three runs, pinch hitting BMont when he's not hitting and it makes your defense worse is a bad move, and Taylor seemingly cannot record 2 out saves without giving up runs. Just not putting your players in the best position to succeed, and that's pretty much all a manager is responsible for.
22 hours ago22 hr What is worse.......Mune Striking out with guys on base ORPham grounding into a Double Play???Those are the most likely outcomes

22 hours ago22 hr When Sox stuck Sam out in left field months ago, because he could hit a little bit, we all knew there would be a few misplays. We just didn't know it would be in 9th inning, down two with two on. That one is on the Mgr.

That cost us the game

22 hours ago22 hr Have physical therapy this afternoon on the shoulder then have an appointment to see my surgeon.Will check in later to see how this one turns out.Frankly I'm not getting my hopes up but that's why they play the game...anything is possible.

Had Rocchio lined it in front of Antonacci playing normal depth we would be questioning why he wasnt playing shallower. The problem is that the catch was fairly routine and Sam took a terrible route to it.
