Wow, seriously I think firing Tony LaRussa isn't to bad of an idea
I’ve been holding off that judgement a while. Platooning Ludwick, batting the Pitcher 8th, Sticking with Izzy way to long and too many times, not going for series sweeps.
Just today
He puts Lopez in LF (He gets a hit though so maybe I can’t fault him for that).
Pitched to Manny with RISP when he’s the hottest hitter in baseball.
Continues to defend Izzy.

Not sure that any other manager in the game today
Does what TLR has done with this year’s club
He frustrates the hell out of me as well, but I think that his managerial abilities have been taken for granted

any other manager
with the possible exception of Piniella, Leyland, and Cox has a sub 500 record with this same group of guys.

that's the thing
but he could be doing better is what is most frustrating… he can rally the guys and turn them into winners, but then he makes the most confounding decisions with the bullpen, platooning Ludwick, etc.

There really isn't any evidence to support the claim that he is the reason we are winning.

how about the fact that
he won the frigging WS in 2006 doing the same thing, dealing with incompetent pitchers, streaky hitters, and retreads from other teams?

they still had to GET there
and it wasn’t cause the pitchers were lights out in September. You may remember some drastic roster moves….

They got enough wins and the central was awful that year
I’m not saying it’s impossible that Tony salvaged that year, I’m just saying it’s possible he wasn’t a major contributing factor.

of course not
but I think the manager’s job should be Tony’s until he quits, because nearly every other manager out there is going to be a downgrade….

Bobby Bowden
My Grandfather passed away when I was 13, so Coach Bowden became a sort of Grandfather to me after that. He really is one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

One guy my mom works with played 3rd string like tackle or something
When Bowden coached at Samford in Birmingham. Obviously that was 30+ years ago, but a couple of years ago, he was in Tallahassee and he swung by Bowden’s office, and Bobby remembered him and everything. Really impressive if you ask me.
Still, he’s lost his coaching touch. And Terry sucks.

Bowden
he hasnt been the Coach since Richt was the offensive coordinator. I agree, Terry is not a good coach, at all. If you believe anything the WWL says, Richt could be on his way out of UGA if they dont do something this year. I personally wouldnt mind him coming back to coach, but Jimbo “forever second” Fischer is the “coach in waiting”.

his hands are kind of tied with the BP also...
no reliever has been that excellent. Springer is probably the best for the year, but he blew one just this last series vs the phils
by duncans_army on Aug 6, 2008 9:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
worth mentioning
the game that Springer wasnt too sharp in was also the 3rd game IN A ROW that he had to pitch in. if there’s anything we can say about the Old Dude, he is reliable and he doesnt do to well on back to back to back days.

Armchair managing...h
1) Ludwick was platooned ONLY in the first month of the season. Are you saying you knew that he was going to be an All-Star this year? If so, point me to the post.
2) There’s absolutely nothing wrong with batting the pitcher eighth, and in fact it’s probably a small net plus.
3) Tony keeps going back to Izzy because everyone else pretty much sucks, and at least Izzy used to be good. Other than trying Springer, there hasn’t been much of an option. The point is, blaming Tony b/c Izzy has “collapsed” this season is shooting the messanger.

I can agree with the first 2
but if Tony would refuse to use Izzy, he would not be on this team. The past means nothing right now, we are in a pennant race, right?

Tony isn't crazy...
he can see Izzy is sucking. And if we had an established elite reliever out there who could step in, it would have happened a long time. We don’t. He tried Franklin. Franklin sucks. There’s no point in trying Villone, he sucks. Perez and McClellan are rooks. Perez has had control issues and Kyle has been hittable the last two months. The only guy who you could argue in favor is Springer, but he’s unfamilliar with the role and old. I think Tony has tried Izzy too much. But I can’t argue that trying him is nuts. There’s a logic to it. Suggesting he should be fired over it is just…ridiculous. D.GOOCH

On Glaus...
FOXSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal reports St. Louis Cardinals 3B Troy Glaus could win the Gold Glove at third base. Glaus’ four errors are the fewest by a National League third baseman; the next lowest total is eight. Glaus also ranks fourth in zone rating. The other three players are on the disabled list or no longer playing regularly.

Gold gloves...
frankly, we should have 3 GG’s locked up (Albert, Troy, Yadier). Iztu has been GG quality out there, but doesn’t hit enough for consideration. The other GG we could get is Ankiel. But the injury might cost him. D.GOOCH (of course, this all presumes that GG voting actually has something to do with defense…)
