Brenly deserves to be fired

[piratefan]

Another WebbGem blown by horrible management decisions. Mike Myers to close the 9th again Barry Bonds? Is he really this clueless?

 

[arthurracoon]

Yeah. Didn't we have Valverde and Mantei?

Myers historically has had a great deal of success against Bonds.
Didn't work out this time.

Basically, this thread is completely ********.

Speaking of horrible management decisions, what's up with Giles going to San Diego?

6 for 23 with zero home runs and 5 K's before this at bat.

Myers was brought to this club to deal with lefties (specifically sluggers like Bonds, Green, Helton, etc.) - he has failed miserably in that function, and has now proven without a doubt his spot on the roster belongs to someone else; BB was merely going with the numbers with his choice of Myers.

I hate to think Joe Jr & JC are standing pat with who we already have, but the money just isn't there for a major move, !@#$% it!!

It seems they are working on it....Giles has told the Pirates he is interested in Atlanta or San Diego:

Up until today he was totally effective against Bonds.
I'm not really defending the guy, I'm as tired of seeing that hokey assed delivery as anyone, but his numbers against Bonds have been solid.

Why would Giles want to go to San Diego?

He is from El Cajon...wants to go home to play ball.

I think BB did the right thing in bringing in Myers to pitch against Bonds, but like many other times this season Myers got tagged by a LH batter, and this one cost us an important game; that single pitch could be the final nail in Myers' coffin, but who knows what BB & Joe Jr have up their sleeves right now.

The Padres also want to get a few high priced talents aboard before they open their new park next season.... Historical precedent indicates that they'll fill a LOT of seats (the first season there).

No more mr nice guy

Brenly seems to be a clubhouse guy when he needs to not be swayed by the guys griping for playing time.

 

[green machine]

Brenly did not leave all those runners on base. Brenly did not forget the fundamentals and play like little league players. Brenly has a tough job of mixing the veterans who stunk up the joint with the young guys who brought this team back from the dead. Not going to be easy, but if BB can get this team through it and into the playoffs then my opinion of him as a manager will have improved.

He didn't have much of an alternative. Orrapessa has given up 2 HR and a double in three at bats against bonds.

My question is - why does a "piratefan" care about what's going on with the D-Backs?
