Agree that I hate his decisions to bunt lately. But Matheny leaving Rosenthal (1 career AB) in to bat with 2 outs and a man on 2nd in the 10th was beyond ridiculous. Worse than anything Ricky did.

:lol: yeah can you imagine the reaction around here if Ventura or Renteria made that move?

I like what I have seen from Renteria so far.

Hes in a little bit of a bad spot with the relief staff as far as who he puts in. Sometimes these guys over think themselves with I have to go with the lefty /lefty matchup automatically. That said I dont know how he can keep saying Veras is the guy. He was bad all spring and into the season. Its like Marmol last year. At some point you cant keep destroying the work the other dozen guys have done to get you a lead into the ninth just so you don't "lose" one guys confidence. Whole is greater than the sum of its parts or something like that.

Yep. There was a saying in the Army when everyone was doing their job and one guy was fucking up, "Got the whole damn dollar waitin' on a dime." Seems to apply here.

Against a good RIGHT hander in Wacha Junior Lake goes 3-3. Next game RIGHT hander Lance Lynn? Schierholtz and Kalish. What the fuck Renteria?

To his defense......If Lake was in the game it would be 10-3 with his horrid defense and reads on balls. They were belting them early.

i was disappointed to see castillo not in the lineup last night either. the guy is really starting to hit well, the cubs have a chance to sweep the cardinals at home on national tv, and we are subjected to yet another john baker experiment. i'm getting tired of seeing castillo lose playing time to this guy every sunday.

While the backup catcher they traded for and cut in spring training took the sox deep twice yesterday.

Down 2 going into the bottom of the 9th and lets Barney lead-off the inning. He, of course, strikes out.
