Go away Brent Morel.

 

 

May have cost a game. I'd still have no problem putting Morel and Beckham on a plane to Charlotte.

Ventura's managed two very bad games the last two days.

Brent, stop that s***.

Morel sheesh

 

Morel needs to be sent down. He's god awful.

That he has. Last night's eight inning was a mess and that squeeze was totally unnecessary.

Morel brings nothing to the table.

Maybe the worst thing to ever happen to us fans with regards to him is his strong finish last year.

?

Im all for sending him AAA. He is just an embarrassing player to watch.

How is that Ventura's fault? I think it was a great call.

That he has. Last night's eight inning was a mess and that squeeze was totally unnecessary.

 

And his managing in the 9th last night and then pitching to Cespedes today

Dude, the A's suck. You're declaring Cespedes an All Star caliber player because he poked a bloop RBI single to CF?

 

 

He has all the tools, yeah.

 

He's going to K a lot, but he is also going to put up 30+ homers and 80-90 RBI's in that huge mausoleum of a stadium.

 

He could also get 25-35 steals.

 

Declaring him an All-Star has nothing to do with that AB at all.

 

I never said the A's were good, dude.

 

I said about 10 times before this series they shouldn't let Cespedes beat them. Advice not taken or heeded.

Morel needs to go. No matter who we have in the minors, they will be better than he is in every regard.

Suicide squeeze was the perfect call and I, too, would have assumed that a player that has never really been a middle of the order hitter could execute it.

That he has. Last night's eight inning was a mess and that squeeze was totally unnecessary.

Why?

 

He was going to strike out otherwise, and then you have Escobar trying to knock him in...

 

I think that was a brilliant time to call the squeeze.

 

Morel simply doesn't deserve to be on a major league ballclub right now.

How is that Ventura's fault? I think it was a great call.

 

Morel was up in the count, as bad of a hitter as he is, he still had a chance at putting a ball in play somewhere.

And his managing in the 9th last night and then pitching to Cespedes today

 

 

Probably Morel simply missed the sign.

 

I'm sure that will be the explanation.

I hate the squeeze, way too much of a margin for error. In the 7th inning, if you can't rely on your hitter to make contact, then you should have someone ready to ph for him.

Well I guess we should just fire him then

What happened to Fukudome, picked off 3rd?

His statistics clearly say otherwise.

With half-ass decent players, the squeeze almost always works.

Yes. I wasn't on here lastnight. I was watching from home. But letting Gavin start the 8th at about 120 pitches was awful.

 

The squeeze is what it is...but the Cespedes hit is the difference in the game right now. Pitching to him there was Ozzie s***.

But you know we can't rely on Morel to make contact.

 

He's trying to make chicken salad out of chicken s*** there.
