Hey Joe, since we can’t drive the ball for hits, how about a few sac bunts and sac flies? At least try and get some productive outs. As I write this, I do recall we strand too many at third! I wonder if our LOBs lead the league? Over the years, Geren has proved to be a poor strategist. Did he play Strat-O-matic when he was a kid? Okay. enough venting for now. Let’s Go Cahill!

looks like another 500 season. No offense is a liability.

I agree guys, I too question quite a few decisions or non-decisions by Geren. I feel Washington should of had the job.Better manager and the players loved him.
Would really be nice to have a bat or two or three…
I could go on but I dont want to get myself worked up.

There are some strategic moves that I question too, Marc. As I blogged, I think Matsui should have gotten an at-bat somewhere in Thursday night’s game. You can second-guess the use of the bullpen in some instances — why one guy was called upon, or why another guy was left in while he was struggling. … Take the entire body of work into consideration as this season unfolds. It’s still early. … This is Geren’s best team on paper, and it should be performing better than it is, no doubt.

I am fed up with this anemic offense. It is unwatchable. Give me your honest opinion Joe, where do you rank Geren among MLB managers? I have always disliked him and I seem to question at least 1 bonehead decision nightly. I understand he is best friends with Beane, but I mean come on. I am still very upset Wash wasn’t hired, that was bush league. I feel like with Geren as manager, we start every game with 1 strike against us……….
