August 6, 200817 yr When's the last time you saw Joe Torre or Joe Maddon go ballistic. And last time I checked, Torre has four rings.
August 6, 200817 yr I can't understand why there is so much hate on this site. WE'RE 1 1/2 GAMES OUT FIRST!!!! Freddi is taking a team that was predicted to have the worst record in baseball into a playoff hunt. WHERE'S THE LOVE
August 6, 200817 yr I think those of us that 'hate' Freddi, agree with the principal that wrong decisions can lead to the right result. Yes, we are doing fantastic and have played well beyond our expectations, I still raise an eyebrow at some of the decisions Freddi has made. (Pulling starters early, his love affair with the lefty/lefty matchups despite split stats, reliever carousel in some games, complete overuse of Pinto, etc.) BUT, i will be the first to say that its his job on the line and not mine. He seems to be playing the cards perfectly and I have no problem continuing to "hate" him throughout the playoffs.
August 6, 200817 yr If I recall, John Boles was fired for not being as fiery as he should have been (following a blown call against the Mets at Shea), hence Tony took over. Just like to add.
August 6, 200817 yr When's the last time you saw Joe Torre or Joe Maddon go ballistic. And last time I checked, Torre has four rings. Couple of nights ago.
August 7, 200817 yr Perhaps b/c he could not see it. Also, you do realize...whether he stays calm or goes crazy...the call won't change. Add in it made no difference. We were still up 4-2 and we were hitting their pen pretty well. If he argues that call it's an automatic eviction and suspension. Makes no sense to argue that one.
