I think they started 11-1 before, y’know, going 5-20 the next month…

But i know i could tell a difference when brian snitker took over as third base coach, i wanted fredi back coaching third. I would have never noticed fredi had left if snitker had been competent, but snitker rotuinely forgot who was batting next when deciding whether or not to send the runner from third. Pitcher up next and two out, hold em, forcing a pinch hitter to enter or pitcher to bat. Clean up batter next, nobody out, send the slowest runner on the team. I am all about forcing teams to make the play but seriously i never saw so many hitters get banged up at home, hopefully fredi can straighten that much out at least.

Study him carefully for a season or so and then you can maybe tell us why he was given so much “credit” for getting his K-Mart budget team to “overperform” for a couple of seasons, during none of which did the Feesh actually got a whiff of a division lead or wild card.
