May 8, 201313 yr Crazy facts. Yeah... He was sac bunting... If he was making the decision to sac bunt there, you would likely rather it be your pitcher bunting than a pinch hitter.... If he was going to let someone swing away, then maybe he uses a PH, but not if he's putting the bunt on. So basically what you're arguing against isn't the fact that Bronson is PH, it's the decision to bunt the runner to second. Crazy facts...
May 8, 201313 yr Leake is an upgrade offensively from Lonesome Dove. So, sure that would have been an option. If anyone but he was scheduled to pitch today, I would agree with you.
May 8, 201313 yr Zany facts. That has merit. I'm not arguing that. But I can tell ya right now without a doubt that if he pinch hits Robinson and not Frazier there, there would be people blasting him right now for never using his starting third baseman, especially in a high leverage situation like that one was.
May 8, 201313 yr Author If anyone but he was scheduled to pitch today, I would agree with you. Yep, one AB would have been a huge detriment to him today. Good point.
May 8, 201313 yr Yep, one AB would have been a huge detriment to him today. Good point. If he pinch hits Leake and he goes up there and gets hit on the hand, or pulls a hammy running the bases or any number of things where they have to scramble to find a starter for tomorrow then you would be the one saying it was crazy to pinch hit in the next day's starter in that situation.

May 8, 201313 yr Was he a good manager in Chicago? What made him a bad manager? His record? You know this, players win and lose the VAST majority of games.
May 8, 201313 yr I guess you really can't steal first base. Lou Piniella could. But I think they threw him out for it.
May 8, 201313 yr Ryan Hanigan went 1-2 with a BB last night for Louisville. I think we'll see a much improved Ryan Hanigan at the plate when he comes back. His thumb injury had to be a huge part of his struggles.
May 8, 201313 yr Choo CF Cozart SS Votto 1B Phillips 2B Bruce RF Frazier 3B Lutz LF Mesoraco C Leake P And there ya have it...Bruce with the bomb today.
May 8, 201313 yr Choo CF Cozart SS Votto 1B Phillips 2B Bruce RF Frazier 3B Lutz LF Mesoraco C Leake P I like it, but it shows how little I know about myself. :lol2:
May 8, 201313 yr Is anyone else hoping Dusty keeps Cozart batting 2nd all year for the simple fact that LCRW stays gone the rest of the year? :lol2::popcorn:
May 8, 201313 yr Lou Piniella could. But I think they threw him out for it. Very true. Who else did? McClendon?
