The Troll Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Seriously, what the hell was that from Leyland last night? I know this may sound stupid being as they are two wins away from the WS, but Leyland is over-rated. In fact, the manager position as a whole is over-rated. There aren't many things they have to do. Handling pitchers and setting the lineups are about it, particularly in the DH league. Anyone that bats a guy with a .260 OBP second in a ****ing playoff game has their head up their ass.

AFJF Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 You're right. The move makes absolutelly zero sense. But if Neifi was batting clean up with Pudge in the leadoff spot, nobody notices as long as the team wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Of Bavaria Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Troll trust me I was pissed about it last night. It's bad enough Neifi's even in the god damn game, batting him second is ludirous. Neifi sucks period. I'd rather see Santiago given a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Neifi was 3-10 off Loaiza so possibly that lent to Leyland"s decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I was wondering why he DH'd Gomez and all he did was hit a crucial 2R HR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also forget to mention that Leyland inserts Alexis Gomez into the game, who's been in and out of the minors most of his career, and he goes on to have a 4 rbi performance, which im sure had nothing to do with Leyland. Yes, Perez sucks. Who the hell else they going to put in? Ramon Santiago?? please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, putting the worst hitter on your team in the 2 hole is beyond retarded. Thankfully, Leyland was rewarded with a classic Neifi performance.

Maxman Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Guys -- I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way. But just back off my Tigers. Seriously if you have watched this team all year like I have you would know that Leiland was the man. He has the pulse of this team and what he does is right. So just back off. If you must hop on the bandwagon kindly take a seat at the back. There are a few spots left right in back of GOB and Mavrik, they jumped on the bandwagon half way through the Yankee series.
