Not that I wish him harm, but it would have been great if this was Feliciano instead of Wise. It would have been a good reason for him not to come into the game yesterday to face Johnson with the bases loaded, and would have made those 100+ negative posts from yesterday worthless.
That’s terrible of you to wish harm to Pedro Feliciano just to mask Willie’s inability to manage a baseball team.
Agreed. I’d rather 1,000 posts flaming Willie (and rightfully so) for not using Feliciano than having Felciano injured.
It’s just a sore right forearm, MRI negative..sheesh…
In fact, Feliciano is more valuable to this team than Willie. We could hire any manager on the unemployment line and we would upgrade.
I wonder if Wise was trying to hide an issue to look tough for his new team — and that led to his poor outings in Florida?
I see why NBW doesn’t like Willie’s managing — and I share a dislike of Willie’s use of pitchers. I think he uses too many arms for short stints, leaving them short in late innings — and forcing people to warm up & sit down too often.
That might be a valid criticism, but it is the opposite of what happened yesterday when Randolph left Sosa in for too long, and got killed for it by the Willie-haters.
You can criticize the guy all you want, but to do it from two different sides is suspect.
it’s a minority of wack-jobs who fill the threads with hate for willie. last year metsblog did a poll and a clear majority want to keep willie even after the collapse. the first poll of this year showed 89% support for willie’s job approval
I have a feeling that Willie’s approval rating be almost solely affected by the outcome of the series or just the last game of the series.
Willie could manage perfectly, but if we get swept or lose 2 of 3, he’s gonna take a major hit.
i tend to agree with that. doesn’t change the wack-job factor though.
I wasn’t hitting him from the other side. My issue with Willie has been that he pulls pitchers too quickly, which means they don’t get used to pitching beyond their comfort zones. Leaving Sosa in was the right move — they were down by 2, on the road, and had already burned 2 relievers (with Wise unavailable), leaving only Wags, Heilman, Feliciano and Figueroa, and 3 of them are good for 1 or 2 innings max.
