I still remember his first game with his brother in the Dodger cap. Plus, Schierholtz always has a stupid look on his face

Davis?? He is a bum unless you are talking about another Davis. Rowand was signed for too many years and too many dollars to not be in the line-up in CF.

I actually thought that Hennessey was the right move instead of Wilson, because you were dealing with the bottom of the order. You figure Hennessey gets thru the ninth and you bring in Wilson if there's a tenth because of those big hitters the Cardinals have in the middle. The problem is that Hennessey can't get anyone out these days.

by ufodog624 on Apr 12, 2008 3:53 PM PDT reply actions  

I don't know what's inside that enormous skull Bochy totes around, but it can't possibly be a brain.

First he takes Cain out with two out and Izturis up. Cain was still throwing well and had only thrown 95 pitches. Bochy didn't think Cain could get Izturis and end the inning?

Then he brings in Taschner, who had Izturis on the ropes but has a pitch get away from him and he hits Izturis.

So, a RH-hitting pinch hitter is announced and out trots Bochy to take out Taschner? Geez, the slavish devotion to never allowing a lefty-righty matchup. Forget that Taschner showed last year that he was excellent against RH hitters. In fact, don't even think at all. Just do what you always do.

So in comes Merkin, who throws one pitch to get Ludwick.

Now we go to the eighth, there's been no pinch-hitter, Valdez can't be tired, but it's the eighth inning, and MLB rules clearly state that you must use your setup man in all 8th inning would-be save situations.

So away goes Merkin, in comes Walker. Walker has nothing and naturally coughs up the lead. And there's nothing IDIOT Bochy can do. He's already wasted all his bullets.

For his next trick, Bochy brings Brad Hennessey into the game. A 5-5 tie in the 8th inning, and Bochy entrusts it to Hennessey! Everyone else on the planet knows that Hennessey has completely lost whatever he once had. I mean, there are life forms on other planets that were shaking their collective heads when they saw Hennessey take the mound. Naturally Hennessey gives up the 2-run HR. Cards lead 7-5. Bochy sits there, breathing through his mouth, a little pool of drool collecting in his lap, and wonders what happened.

Just to complete the story, after the horses have all escaped from the barn, Bochy gives us the brilliant move of bringing in Brian Wilson. WHAT'S THE POINT?????//SLASH

A 3-year old could've brought this game home in the win column. Unfortunately, Bruce Bochy falls just a tad bit short of a 3-year old's intellect.

That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!
