In game management is hard to evaluate sometimes, but his was pretty stupid on the surface. Thurs nite was idiotic. Corriea is pitching along into the 8th inning when his glove hand cramps up so bad he momentarily could not straighten his fingers enough to even get his glove back on. Steroidskull come out to the mound and leave him in anyway. With a secure lead and a fresh pen. In a a game in April. On a team that is going nowhere. With a young starter who is just now maturing. Of course Corriea promptly gives up two hits and than Genius finally decides to pull him out of the game. Watching Bochy is like watching the short bus drive off a cliff Thats nothing.

That's not a judgement call even, it's just plain not paying attention. While I believe (and statistics) support that there's far too much bunting when a runner is at first base, I don't think anyone (old school or new school) would argue with advancing the winning run to third base with no outs. That's beyond comprehension. The first time I heard Bochy speak on the radio I was concerned that he seemed a little loopy or senile, but clearly that was accurate. Wow… I mean, WOW!

If there were none, that's an even more significant mistake... runner at 2nd with no outs? In a tie ball game every single player on this team should have to bunt the runner over in that situation...

Can you say 6 twenty game winners? Honest. Geez, I’d take an upgrade to career AAAA players….

I think he could perform better than Aurilla. Or he could be a nice cheap lefty off the bench. It'd be a really low risk, medium reward type move. :-) He's struggled in Oakland and has had some strange injuries but if he could ever get going, he has one of those beautiful lefthanded swings... his minor league numbers would project that he should be better than how he performed in Oakland. Who knows, maybe he's just a career AAAA player... well it looks as if Dan Johnson is getting waived or DFA… you guys should take a flier on him.
