Maybe but in the 2 games he pitched against us his team put up a combined total of 6 runs.
What does any of this have to do with his actual performance?

So much this. Cueto on the road is pretty much a guaranteed L at this point. And he'll laugh his way all the way to the bank anyway.

Maybe it's the food service.

Except Cueto has and is used to pitching against NL teams and in their stadiums. This is not Cueto going against an AL team he has never faced in a place he has never played.

Just saying...

Either do I. Especially in game 1 shitting his pants and having to go to the pen in the 3rd is devistating.

Cueto 2 and 6. Have Medlen ready in case of meltdown.

petegz28 10-24-2015 07:48 PM

Sometimes, the talent covers the mistakes of the manager.
Sorry, I cannot let that statement go unchallenged. Whitey Herzog was a helluva manager. He took a young team to 3 straight division titles, and they lost to Yankee teams that were simply better. The team finished in second place in 1979, and Kauffman fired Herzog because Muriel Kauffman didn't like him. That was the only really bad decision Ewing Kauffman ever made.

If Herzog was such a bad manager, how was he able to transform the Cardinals from a mediocre team into a team that he took to multiple World Series?

When Ned retires, I think there's a good chance the next manager is either Raul Ibanez or Jason Kendall.

I'd much prefer the former. Kendall is such an old school red-ass, it scares me a bit. Kirk Gibson-esque.

Ned made the worst decision he has made in two years last night, but his team bailed him out again.

He's tactically challenged, but it works more often than not.

I never, ever said that Herzog was a "bad" manager.

But it was clearly time for a change and the following season was proof.

For a guy named "Brainiac", you continually prove that...oh well, **** it.

It's been said enough times.

Woulda taken a real dildo to screw up that 1980 team. Whitey would've gone to the Series with them too
