You can't freaking tell me that Shatkins doesn't see this?
Whether they are pushing the buttons or not, it's disappointing that they are handling this so poorly.
Can someone from our spineless media please ask Chuckles his reasoning for batting Tapia lead off? Provide statistical facts behind the question, I'd love to hear his answer.
I think it's a combined effort, but ultimately Shatkins calls the shots on the field. This is why Chuckles was hired in the first place and I'm not holding my breath that we'll see a strong independent manager managing this team anytime soon.
