Admin Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Porter is a moron, no unwritten rules in the first inning and he played a shift anyway. If he's going to do that, Lowrie has every right to try and drop down a bunt to beat the shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'd forgotten what an idiot Porter is. He's one of the reasons that HOU is well on their way to another #1 pick. Which he probably regards as a resume enhancement. Not even the Marlins were dumb enough to hire this clown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMarlinPride Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Blessed he isn't our manager, would've ended my fanhood for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 We were damn close. Nah. Interviewing him probably caused whoever was involved in it to wonder why they were wasting their time, but he was never anything other than a sop to the MLB rules about "affirmative action" when hiring managers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dim Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Can't say that considering he got hired as a manager pretty damn soon after. If Redmond turned the job down Porter was next in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 We don't know that. Meanwhile, I can't explain Houston's idiocy. Not that it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 We don't know that. Meanwhile, I can't explain Houston's idiocy. Not that it matters. To be fair Jeffrey, you hired Mike Redmond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I mean...he wasn't even a mediocre third base coach, how did Houston expect him to be anything as a manager? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 To be fair Jeffrey, you hired Mike Redmond. To be fair, if I was Loria, there's no way I would be posting here as I would have killed myself somewhere back around '06 or '07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entendu Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 The announcers in that video are retarded. "Hey, man. You're going to drag bunt to boost your self esteem? You're beating on us pretty hard." Are you serious? I'm pretty sure that bunt had nothing to do with self-esteem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And plus, how could you boost your self esteem by doing anything against the Disastros? That's like Shaq dunking on Peter Dinklage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Card Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 So Bo Porter actually made a pretty ballsy move yesterday. Brought in a LHP to face the left-handed batter. Then moved the LHP out to LF to bring in the RHP, who walked the right-handed batter. Then took that pitcher out of the game and brought the LHP back on the mound to face another lefty, whom he swiftly struck out to end the inning. I love seeing interesting moves like this. Bud Black had put Andrew Cashner out in LF earlier this season in order to keep his bench in tact in a late inning game. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
