Henderson

Tried his best to hand them the game, but Bianco out-dumbed him. Putting the winning run on first (who happens to be our best base runner) was a bold move... And by bold, I mean moronic.

Thanks for that one, Mike. We’ll take it.

Even a 1A Baseball coach knows you don't give a free pass to the winning run....

I'm happy for the team, but hendo needs to go imo. It really a moot point because if Cohen brings in the caliber coach he continues to hint he is bringing in, there is zero chance said coach will want him around unless Louisville/TT decides to offer their pitching coach the hc job.

The only manager I’ve really ever seen do it was Joe Maddon, but situationally it was very different. If he had Bryce Harper at the plate and the tying run in scoring position with two outs- okay that’s one thing.

But Mangum is our best base runner, by no means a power hitter who can drive in runs with extra base hits, the heart of our order was coming up, less than two outs, etc. Bottom line- holy **** what a stupid move. But I’m glad we were the beneficiary.

Yep. Incredibly bad move. Although it's a pretty damn good chance given our history with them that he was going to get on base, Mangum wasn't going to beat them in that AB. But they teed up Alexander to. Mike is going to have to answer for that one in the long term.

Listened to B&B on the ride into work. Brain had a good comment, something like .. "This team is now winning DESPITE Henderson."
