Calling All Phillies Fans… WTF Is Up With Your Manager?
May 24th, 2007 by pat
I feel sorry for Phillies fans.
Never thought I would say that about folks that used to boo Mike Schimdt, but I really do.
The injury bug has hit them and apparently, they have a manager that is better suited for the WWF than the MLB.
Following his early season tirade, I was simply thinking, “dam….he has some seriously high blood pressure”. When he sent Brett Myers to the pen, I scratched my head…but thought “dam….he must be crazy like a fox”. After tonight (game yet concluded) I have to think he is just not that good.
Top of the 10th, 2 out, 2 on…….and you send a pitcher up to pinch hit? WTF?
Yes, the bench had been depleted, early I might add, but the best right-handed bat (vs. LH T. Tankersly) is a pitcher?! WTF?
The only bat left on the bench, in the top of the 10th inning, was Abraham Nunez. Perhaps I am simply uneducated about an injury that may be present, but it makes no sense. Nunez has a hot bat, is a switch hitter, and available. Yet Manuel sends in a pitcher?
Educate me Philly folk…..first on what makes Manuel tick? From the looks of him, I would suppose bacon. Secondly…why in the hell did you all boo Schmidt??
At least you all have cheesesteaks….

Nunez starting the game but was pulled after getting a concussion… any other questions, guy?

That would explain the situation…sorta….
Still seems pretty pathetic that you are out of bats in the 10th inning. Poor management.
Thanks Nelson for the information.
