Accord Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 On your first major league "hit" :thumbup :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubangm Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I liked what i saw out of Messenger today. He was consistenly between 91-96 and showed a pretty good curveball. Most importantly he missed alot of bats. Also the hits the cubs got off him weren't hard hit balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazmarlins Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 He did pretty good tonight.Congrats on that hit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyMountainMarlin Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Why the hell did Jack give him a second AB? Sure he is batting 1.000 but we had a guy on base and could have kept a 2 out rally going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 cause if Jack takes him out and puts Lenny Harris or Chris Aguila and they ground out...then he goes to the pen for lets say Resop...Resop gets hit hard and you come on here and complain that Jack should have left Messenger in because he was on a roll and was at least hitting 1.000.... basically its damn if you, damn if you dont...the life of a Major League Manager... :shifty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRESOP Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 and who says Resop would get hit hard....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 nobody...but my point is...IF that scenario played out and Resop just happens to get hit hard...we'd all complain that Messenger should have been left in... ...bottom line, whatever Jack does is always the wrong move and something better could have been done...hindsight is 20/20... ...if Jack knew what would happen to Easley and Lo Duca in the ninth...he would have taken Messenger out...but he had no clue...its a game, theres a lot of guessing going on...let the man breathe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rferry Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 We all understand that Jack's job is hard, but this is one of coutless examples of him pissing away an advantage for a very small gain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
