Official Bochy ****up Thread

[love_that_reefer]

This is the Bruce Bochy aka "the Retard" official ****up thread. This should have been started before the season because it would already be 15 pages long. It will take forever to go over every single one but I will start with tonight's game. Twice Bochy had a chance to pinch hit Renteria tonight and did not. Either for Burriss with runners on first and third or for the pitcher with bases loaded and two outs. Instead Velez got the nod and struck out on three straight pitches. He did not give us the best chance to win tonight which is an occurring theme. Burriss even being a Major Leaguer right now is a huge **** up.

And why wasn't Wilson pitching in the 9th? I know we were all tied up, but still in the 9th you need your closer in to pitch regardless if its tied or not!!!

I answered this in the game thread. Wilson had pitched the past two games and this wasn't a save positions. One of those two games he gave up a three run lead. Horwy was more rested and had no problem with him being in there in a tie game. I do fault him for throwing that 3-2 strike that was crushed.

[HollywoodLeo]

Has he brought in a lefty specialist to intentionally walk someone and then pulled him yet?

[love_that_reefer]

No but its coming any day now. Not much wrong left for him to do.

Bochy has Aurilia and his wonderful .192 BA hitting third today

Tie ballgame in the 12th and Bochy wastes his last bench player to pinch hit and bunt instead of using a pitcher. Uribe bunts it right back to the pitcher and they get the lead runner at third. Why not pinch hit a pitcher to do that?

Eugenio Velez has started two games in a row

[love_that_reefer]

Bochy batted Rowand leadoff tonight.

[love_that_reefer]

Ok the Rowand thing worked out. Velez starting behind Lincecum did not! Bochy needs to be fired or else I quit on this team for the year. Its not even a joke.

Too bad Bochy won't get fired with the Giants playing like this. God forbid, he will probably even win manager of the year if the Giants make the playoffs.

[HollywoodLeo]

It wouldn't be his first Manager of the Year award.

By D.J. Short
I've been trying to come up with an explanation for this and I've come to the conclusion that Giants manager Bruce Bochy really thinks tonight's game against the Pirates is going to be canceled and he is simply messing with our heads.

Here it is, courtesy of Andrew Baggarly on the San Jose Mercury News:

CF Torres
2B Sanchez
SS Uribe
C Molina
RF Huff
LF Burrell
1B Posey
3B Sandoval
P Wellemeyer

Yes, that's right. Pablo Sandoval -- a mainstay in the middle of the lineup for the past two seasons -- will bat eighth against left-hander Paul Maholm on Saturday. While that's all kinds of crazy on its own, Aubrey Huff will make his first start in right field since the 2006 season and Pat Burrell will make his Giants debut in left field. Yikes. Don't forget your Maalox, Giants fans.

Man, Bochy really adores Molina hitting clean up, doesn't he?

[GiantsFanatic]

Wow Sandoval batting 8th?! Are you ****ing kidding me? Bochy should be fired!

[HollywoodLeo]

So, LTR, out of curiosity has your opinion on Bochy changed any?
