Agree about it all. Did you guys see that Heilman, before last night, only stranded two of eight inherited baserunners? Small sample, maybe, but it just got larger after last night, and is alarming, to say the least.

Willie is a spineless bonehead mofo.

I agree absolutely. In my haste to post quickly when I got home, I left out the part about Alou.

Alou was wrong but Willie needed to go out there and defend his player. Strange behavior for someone who always talks about his “guys”.

Bringing in Heilman in that situation was indeed a bonehead move, especially with what seems like a gazillion other options available to come out of the bullpen. Besides costing the game with his decision making ineptitude, willie (I will no longer capitalize his name in protest), proved once again that he will not fight for his players.

Now Alou was as wrong as wrong could be for showing up the ump after that called strike three, but he was right that the pitch was not a strike. How about protecting your player? How about a little fire? One day after John Maine goes balls to the wall (more like fastball to the hip) to protect his teammates, willie (protest) shows that he’s not willing to do the same. Instead he stands slumped like a flaccid member at the top of the dugout, patting Moises on the butt, saying, “It’s okay Moises, you’ll get them tomorrow.”

I’m telling you, willie’s afraid to get thrown out of any game because he knows that whoever takes over the game will do a better job.
