Very good season......terrible post season. Gardy did nothing to rock a
lineup that was slumping. He can pat himself on the back all he wants for winning 96 games, but a turd could have managed the team to 3 straight playoff losses. Slumps happen, but the 3 week batting slump and Gardenhire's lack of any proactive action just shows his lack of any managerial expertise. He will never be viewed as a master tactician.

I dunno...you go with the guys who got you there. Can you seriously blame
him for the series loss? "Charles" <charles@mn.rr.comnotright> wrote in message news:JiCVg.89$F7.72@tornado.rdc-kc.rr.com... Quote:

Probably not, nor can you give him credit for the wins either. He is basically a hands off manager that just wants to be one of the guys. Average, not exceptional, and no way a manager of the year candidate. |

What? The Twins beat themselves. Game 1: Impatient at the plate, swinging at balls, letting Zito off the hook. Castillo couldn't bunt. Game 2: Left a lot of runners on base. Torii's gaffe. Nathan's wild pitch. Game 3: Left four runners stranded in the first two innings. Three errors let in a lot of runs. Hunter was called out when he was safe. |

Couldn't Gardy have managed the team to be a bit more patient?? Quote:
Gardy bunting Torii....super. Of course Torii's next at bat was a home run. Sure could have used that in the second inning. This was the first sacrifice bunt Torii had this year. Yeah.....let's take a hot hitter and have him bunt. Gardy is a dolt. |

I'm not sure that was Gardy putting on the bunt. I think that was Torii trying to bunt for a base hit. I actually agreed with it at the time. The Twins were having a tough time scoring runs in the previous two games and now they had Morneau on third with one out. I thought for sure they were going to draw first blood. BTW, historically I'm not Gardenhire booster but I couldn't fault him for much the past few months. |
