2011-05-28 Giants (Sanchez) at Brewers (Wolf) - [Brewers win, 3-2, Lucroy walk-off squeeze]

[pretendastronaut]

Roenicke isn't perfect, and really no manager will be, bit it's exhausting seeing this everyday in the IGTs. A lot of the things people get upset about are marginal at best. Really Kotsay versus Boggs filling in for a couple of games is a decision on the margins at best, and as noted plenty of the decisions he has to make are a choice between two bad options because of injuries and lack of depth.

 

This thread is a perfect illustration of this. Two pages of people calling Roenicke an idiot for not playing Hart, and it turns out Hart is sick. We get it, people don't like Yuni, Gomez and Roenicke, but let's at least be objectionable.

Two more walks for Braun. On pace for 95 this season and already more than half of what he had all last season.

 

Love the approach.

[/b]I get what you are saying but what I meant when I said impact was that either way the decision wasn't going to change the game much. Granted, he may or may not have made the right decision but it hardly makes him an idiot for that and all these people already don't like him cause of a few small decisions even though the team itself is in the race despite having all those beginning of the year injuries I think is more of a testament to RRR. The players could have folded or simply just not believed they would win but RRR they seem to come out much more motivated and excited to play and THEY believe they will win.

In that game correct it didn't and wouldn't make much of an impact, but over the course of a 162 game season it can make an impact. If you play that same situation out 162 times and make the right call more often than not that could be a difference of a win or two and vice versa.

Someone more tuned in to the stats community could probably help me out with the impact of a manager, but the point is that these decisions add up over the course of an entire season.

The more often the manager makes the right moves to maximize the teams personnel will help and the more often he makes the opposite decisions will more negatively impact the team.

Right but overall I believe RRR has made more good decisions than bad ones. Boggs did not produce when he was up here so he was left with little other options when injuries occured. Either way the difference from having A Boggs/Kotsay instead of a Hart/Morgan is a much bigger difference than whether or not who RRR puts in the lineup

[MVP2110]

Yea Braun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ninja33]

well said, pretendastronaut.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

The other side of the runnin' RRs pays off. Just don't have him tag up on an infield pop up.

[jason21nl]

wow, that was a pretty terrible slide from Braun. Very lucky he is OK

[sdcheezhd]

We have no problem being objectionable.

I wish I'd gotten home in time to see go-go-gadget's ITP live. I'm sure it's Carlos' personal "happy birthday" gift to zachlaka.

That's what I get for typing on my phone at the in-laws! Time to put the phone down and watch the game I suppose.

[ilovebeer]

ha I just saw that the scrubs lost 10-0 today, I can't wait for the Brewers to go to wrigley field and for Brewer fans to take over that dump.

[theavrock]

Wow, what a way to give up the first hit.

 

Aubrey HUff with the excuse me check swing single.

[ilovebeer]

So far this has to be one of Randy's best pitching performance he has had as Brewer. pitch count is 58 after 5 innings.

[sdcheezhd]

Corey mentioned the no-hitter and the curse was immediately cashed in.

 

Ueck spent the rest of the inning talking about teaching check swing hitting in the minors. "You think it's easy to strike out all the time? Sometimes they hit your bat just like that"

[derflotr]

God almighty, can we just go an inning without any catcher collision talk?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Giants are really going to struggle to score runs without Posey...they struggle with him.

[MVP2110]

I'd say its about time to get someone warming in the pen. Im thinkin Estrada but thats me

[Oxy]

Phew. I was pretty sure that the wild pitch was going to cost us there. It still might, but it sure would be nice to have confidence in the backstop.

Wolf has only given up 2 hits and is at 72 pitches. Would seem a bit premature to take him out.

[MVP2110]

Nice Pitch Wolf!

[ilovebeer]

nice job getting out of that mini jam.

[jason21nl]

that's back to back nights a player has got in the face of the home ump on a called strike 3 and hasn't been thrown out of the game.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Wolf...75 pitches of sweetness. That last pitch to Ross was some slow, knee buckling filth.
