IMU, dont worry. I have a seat saved for you on the bandwagon. There is a signed Starlin Castro poster on your seat.

So he'll be sitting on Starlin's face?

The field manager isn't the problem here. But this is well traveled ground in these threads.

The same field manager that didn't have Byrd attempt a suicide or safety squeeze in the 9th inning?

You're a goddamn meatball. I don't remember Byrd ever being considered a good bunter.

While reminding everyone I'm on no playoff bandwagon whatsoever, nor am I confident in Mike Quade's ability to be a long term successful manager, let me say the following.

In three games so far this season, I've seen more passion from the team than I have in the last couple seasons. In Game 3, against the fucking Pirates, I saw the Cubs be excited. They lost...and made some bonehead mistakes along the way...but I saw the players wanting it.

Naming names, I saw Wood, Soto, Colvin, Peña, Garza, Barney, and Castro all be pumped about something, yesterday alone. We'll ignore Soriano because he is still a bum. It is nice to see da fire and da passion in the first week in the season. This team is still a 3rd place team at best this year...but as I've viewed this season as a developmental period anyways, it is good to see the team like this early. I can imagine this all slipping away fast if they start the season 8-24...but if this team ends up winning only 80 games and the young players develop and keep that desire to win...that is successful...and Quade would have had a nice start to his managerial career.

Too bad I haven't seen any coaching.

Men on 1st and 3rd, 1 out, bottom 9, you can't be swinging at a first pitch! Marlon! Especially one that you had to reach out over the plate for!

in the process, it has neutralized Hendry's ferocious bulliness, at least temporarily

No telepathy needed, just the old "take" sign

And actually the mistake is made when he writes Byrd in the spot next to 3. on the lineup card.

Worst 3 hitter of all time

Bip Roberts was better

I will give him this....He knew better than to put the shark in the game today. A game must be in the favor of one of the teams by no less than 5 runs for him to ever see the mound.

Heh.. for shits and grins... let's look at some 3 hitters. Let's just keep it to current rosters, shall we? Is Byrd better than any of these guys?

All stats are career 162 game averages, BA HR RBI

CHC Marlon Byrd
.281 12 69

ANA Bobby Abreu
.296 21 97 No. Aging but still better.

HOU Hunter Pence
.287 26 88 No. Young guy on the come

OAK David DeJesus
.289 11 72 Let's call it a Push

TOR Jose Buatista
.245 25 74 No. dude hit 54 dingers last year

ATL Chipper Jones
.306 31 107 No. HOF 3rd sacker

MIL Ryan Braun
.307 36 118 No. Been raking since day 1

STL Albert Pujols
.331 42 128 :lol:

ARI Justin Upton
.272 23 81 No. upside on this cat is sick

LAD Andre Ethier
.291 22 86 No. Consistent All Star hitter

SF Aubrey Huff
.283 25 92 No. Aging but still productive

CLE Shin-Soo Choo
.296 21 95 No. Korean stud is true 5-tool player

SEA Milton Bradley
.272 20 75 We might have something here. Unpredictable malcontent.

FLA Hanley Ramirez
.313 26 83 No. Mercurial shortstop can flat out rake.

NYM David Wright
.304 27 107 No. All Star level 3rd sacker

WAS Ryan Zimmerman
.289 25 98 No. Probably still better than Werth

BAL Derrek Lee
.282 28 90 No. Veteran fading but still productive.

SD Orlando Hudson
.280 12 67 Hmm. Push

PHI Jimmy Rollins
.273 17 72 No. Former MVP filling in for Utley

PIT Andrew McCutchen
.286 18 69 No. Rising star

Tex Josh Hamilton
.311 32 115 No. Reigning MVP

TB Evan Longoria
.282 31 113 No. Young stud will dominate AL pitchers for years.

BOS Carl Crawford
.296 14 78 No. 5 tool guy now making mega $$

CIN Joey Votto
.314 32 106 No. Reigning MVP just entering prime.

COL Carlos Gonzalez
.300 26 87 No. Huge breakout for young Rox slugger.

KC Alex Gordon
.245 18 64 Yes. Billy Butler might wind up here before long.

DET Magglio Ordonez
.311 27 111 No. Aging veteran still a professional hitter.

MIN Joe Mauer
.327 16 91 No. Elite hitting backstop is well-played in any situation.

CWS Adam Dunn
.251 40 99 No. Burly slugger is amazingly consistent.

NYY Mark Teixeira
.286 37 121 No. Off a down year, but still an elite switch-hitting RBI man

I think you get the point here. There are only a handful of worse options, and Byrd will need to keep up the supplements.
