Quote: Manuel on Sunday, Fans and Season
Jerry Manuel had the following to say after yesterday’s season-ending loss to the Marlins, regarding…
…the fans:
“It’s unfortunate for the fans. They were really, really tremendous.
…the most frustrating part of the season, for him:
“Well, obviously, we didn’t win – that’s frustrating. I think, probably, the inconsistent way we played the last week offensively over the last week. We knew we were having people out of place in the bullpen. We knew that. We knew that was something that wasn’t going to hit on all cylinders, so we have to kind of mix and match and flip and flop and that kind of thing…In saying that, we probably needed for a guy, or one or two guys to step up offensively and lighten that load. That’s just too much playing with that type of stuff, that was too much for us, we couldn’t overcome that.”
…essentially, he is saying that it’s tough to blame the bullpen because every one knew the bullpen was a mess…instead, the offense needed to step up and it did not…and i totally agree…
