September 14, 200620 yr How many times is Joe Girardi going to lose close games for this team with his laissez-faire attitude when it comes to pitching changes? How many times have we seen games like tonight, when it was obvious the pitcher was laboring, but Girardi won't pull him until he's given up a ton of runs. Look back on Jack, and when a pitcher was in trouble in close games, you walk a guy, get behind the next, you were out of there. This team is fighting for it's life right now, and the manager needs to manage like it.
September 14, 200620 yr Herges did fine. It just wasnt our night. We couldnt get any breaks. No need to blame Joe when we lose.
September 14, 200620 yr Joe deserves no blame tonight. The pen is absolute sh*t right now. How about the spectacular defense?
September 14, 200620 yr Joe deserves no blame tonight. The pen is absolute sh*t right now. How about the spectacular defense? And that.
September 14, 200620 yr Author If Joe pulls Herdges and the next guy blows it, ok.. but to not even attempt to try somebody else bothers me.

Go dig a really deep hole and jump in it. Come out when you grow up and know an ounce about baseball
September 14, 200620 yr Joe doesn't deserve any blame for this one. He most certainly did for yesterday's game, but he was fine tonight.
September 14, 200620 yr If Joe pulls Herdges and the next guy blows it, ok.. but to not even attempt to try somebody else bothers me. The Marlins gave the Mets 4-5 outs that inning.
September 14, 200620 yr how was it Giradi fault? i can understand last night but this was not his fault at all. the bullpen is just struggling really bad and it feels like our starters are going to have to throw 8 or 9 innings every single game now. take the day off tomorrow and rest up and clear things out. there is more games to play and were still in this, as much as this loss switched alot of things up wit all the other teams winning we gotta keep pushing. this 8th and 9th inning crap they need to get over with already, its like they feel worried when these innings start coming up in a 1 run game.
September 14, 200620 yr Blaming the manager for this game is simply short-sighted, agenda-driven, and not based on any form of reputable logic.
September 14, 200620 yr Author Give me a break dude, how the hell do you blame Joe for this one???? For leaving herdges in to give up 3 runs in a tied game?
September 14, 200620 yr For leaving herdges in to give up 3 runs in a tied game? He made a few pitches and the defense rewarded him by booting the ball and lacking common sense. You know which administrator of the game deserves blame? Miguel Olivo. How many balls did this guy let get away from him tonight?
September 14, 200620 yr For leaving herdges in to give up 3 runs in a tied game? Herges is out of that inning easy if Cabs and Uggla don't screw up. And it's not like we had any better options in the pen, especially with Tank not available.
September 14, 200620 yr maybe for not bunting Hanley home in a 1-run game with no outs? Yeah, squeeze with the no outs and the heart of the order :plain They should have got Hanley in, and we should have won, but not with a squeeze.
September 14, 200620 yr For leaving herdges in to give up 3 runs in a tied game? Did you not notice the missed double play, the errant throw to third, umm...leaving hanley on third in th eighth etc. etc???? Really, these blame Joe threads are getting pathetic.

Yeah, squeeze with the no outs and the heart of the order :plain They should have got Hanley in, and we should have won, but not with a squeeze. better to be safe than sorry. and even if we "wasted" Uggla (making it a 2-run game), Cabs and Hammer still woulda batted.
