Posted July 3, 200420 yr why why why why why why why does McKeon make Choi bunt the damn ball? Choi is hitting .330+ his last 20 games you really sucked tonight Jack, use your freakin head with a struggling offense you DO NOT give away outs
July 3, 200420 yr why why why why why why why does McKeon make Choi bunt the damn ball? Choi is hitting .330+ his last 20 games you really sucked tonight Jack, use your freakin head with a struggling offense you DO NOT give away outs 437487[/snapback] I understand the move, but I don't agree with it. Jack should just retire after the All Star Game. We need a spark, and that may be it.
July 3, 200420 yr What the F**K does Choi has to do to earn some respect? worst could happen was a DP, moving the running to 3rd base!
July 3, 200420 yr idiotic. take the bat out of the hands of your best hitter left & leave the game in the hands of your weakest 2 hitters. Sea Bass has no discipline at the plate. Don't agree with this one at all. I'd be pissed if I was Choi. He had pretty good at-bats all night. Brilliance.... :banghead
July 3, 200420 yr I thought everyone wanted small ball? 437496[/snapback] You don't play small ball like that. You don't give away outs in the bottom of the ninth when you are trailing.
July 3, 200420 yr It's called moving the tying run into scoring position 437500[/snapback] It's called, removing the bat out of your hottest hitter and giving the opposition an out.
July 3, 200420 yr The runner would move to third but it wouldn't matter. We needed 2 runs. A DP would have killed us (we died anyways). I'm sure that was part of Jack's thinking.
July 3, 200420 yr I am so pissed over this move. 437502[/snapback] :violin move on and get over it. thats how baseball is played. u dont expect to have anyone hit a homer or extra base hit. u play the statistics and chances are better with ur next 2 hitters gettin base hits than 1 player gettin an extra base hit
July 3, 200420 yr i think Admin should remove the "in jack we trust" slogan, because I sure as hell dont trust in him
July 3, 200420 yr choi cant even bunt!!!! 437506[/snapback] in a way, thats a good point. jack usually doesnt even trust choi to bunt in crucial situations.
July 3, 200420 yr Every manager in baseball would have done the same thing 437517[/snapback] Bobby Cox wouldn't have.

July 3, 200420 yr Normally, I don't agree with sacrifice bunting, but I think it was the right move here. The Marlins have grounded into a ton of double plays. We have grounded into so many that it is in the player's heads. They are just trying not to hit ground balls. ou need to get out of that situation. Mckeon was trying to relieve some pressure. Plus, it gave us two opportunities to tie the game with one hit. If you don't bunt, you need at best 2 of the next 5 guys to get singles to tie the game (because no one at the bottom of the order has the ability to get extra base hits). At least this way you had a 1 in 2 chance to tie the game. .5 is better than .4. Plus, we would have been completely relying on choi if we don't bunt. If he doesn't come through then you need back to back hits from agon and redmond. With as pathetic as the Marlins bottom of the lineup is, you have to try and do everything possible to increase the odds.
July 3, 200420 yr It's time to fire Jack. He's not getting the best out of his players, controlling the clubhouse or winning games on the field.

July 3, 200420 yr when is jack ever gonna have some damn faith in choi? first, no play vs lefties and now not even a chance to let us win this game sure it'd be a risk to let him swing away but having agon and redmond decide the game was enough of a risk as well. err
