Farking Lard

Lmao. Call a squeeze with a horrendous bunting team. Good one Fredi.

 

[AerchAngel]

Fire the hitting coach who is responsible for bunts now. TOMORROW. This is pathetic.

 

[jpack1]

Lard/Fredi just can't do anything right.

 

[The Tariff King]

Attaboy Laird.

We might actually win a game!?!?!

 

[jsebe10]

Fat ass

 

[mossy]

Wow, we sure know how to bang out a rally.

I would fire Fredi for that ****. Laird is about the last guy I want in a squeeze play. Way to run yourself out of a potentially big inning.

 

[jpack1]

Such epic fail. My Word. Fredi sucks as a manager nay not go with Gattis there. He just doesn't give his team the best chance to win, which is what a manager is supposed to do.

 

[The Tariff King]

Win 2-1 today, then 3-1 tomorrow, then 4-0 Friday...

 

[drewdat]

Nice to see Laird make the most of his RBI opportunities hitting 5th.

My non-GDT-sticking ploy may have worked. It's too bad you couldn't stick with it, otherwise we may have scored 10 runs.

Laird is either going to K or ground out or pop up in that at-bat... bunt was actually a high percentage play with Laird.

Wasn't me.

 

[yeezus]

So, he was bad in 2011? 2012? No. He wasn't great, but a .750 OPS and 20+ homers from your 2nd baseman is nothing to be ashamed of.

He was terrible for half the year in 2011.
He was bad first half 2012, terrible 2nd half.
Terrible last year.
He put up an OPS of over .750 ONE HALF since 2011.
All of this combined with terrible defense makes a bad player. A .720 OPS from a terrible defender at 2B makes for a horrible player.

Agreed. I don't mind the squeeze call there. It's on fat titts not to miss the bunt. Hell he threw him a fastball for god sakes.

 

[stpeteirish]

Idiotic. Instead of Pinch hitting he tries a squeeze. And Schafer and Pena both available, I think they can bunt. (leap of faith to think anyone on this team can bunt)

Laird probably didn't wanna get called for catcher's interference.

WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION WHY IS ONE OF OUR BEST HITTERS IN GATTIS NOT BROUGHT IN THERE???????????????

Only person that should have hit for Laird was Gattis.
