Here's an example:

Thursday night the Cardinals led 4-3 in the top of the 8th. The Giants have a lefty and switch-hitting heavy lineup. First guy up in the inning is a LHP, then a PH, then a switch hitter.

Matheny goes with Carlos Martinez, who has just been ****ing ass-raped by left handed batters this year. Of course, the first three guys to bat all hit from the left side of the plate because of platoon matchups and their natural handedness.

Meanwhile, his best reliever this year, Pat Neshek, is rotting in the bullpen, and his LOOGY, Randy Choate, is sitting on the pine with his thumb up his ass.

Predictably, Blanco gets on, the PH grounds out, the next man singles to tie the game, which turns into a throwing error when Martinez forgets to back the ****ing plate up AND screens Molina simultaneously.

Next batter grounds out. So, there is a runner on third with two outs. Matheny elects to intentionally walk a batter with two outs in a tie game with the go-ahead run in scoring position. Said batter is a league average hitter this year (104 wRC) to bring up their best hitter this year (160 wRC).

Then, he goes to his closer, who has been extremely unreliable and very hittable this year, again leaving Neshek (who ****ing rapes RHB) on the bench. Batter doubles into the gap scoring two runs rather than one thanks to the IBB.

Cardinals rally in the 9th but end up losing 6-5. It was the worst managed inning I've ever seen in professional baseball WRT pitching matchups and strategy.

Your manager and our manager should go bowling some time.

Yeah, he's the one true voice of Cards fans; he says what we're all thinking, in much more colorful terms.

Also, La Russa believes that if Matheny was behind the plate in the 2000 playoffs (instead of slicing open his ****ing hand with a hunting knife opening presents) that Rick Ankiel likely never has his meltdown.

Assuming that was true, his dumbass might have also cost the Cardinals the best young pitcher I've ever seen put on the uniform.

You're awesome too.

Who's more likely to get a hit tonight? Moose or Duffy?

Pepe Silvia · 06-02-2014, 05:54 PM

You guys should start that 43.88 ERA guy.

**lewdog** · 06-02-2014, 05:58 PM

So Hamas is the more articulate form of Pete in Royals threads???
