Apparently now, we're not calling him names and demanding for his termination.

I'm pissed that he still has Shuck playing when Calhoun can do so much more. I am also really upset that Ianetta started last night. Oh and what the hell starting Hawpe instead of Trumbo. This team is performing well even with him shitting the bed with his decisions.

[MacNasty]

I'm with you on Schuck.  He's done a reasonable job filling in and all at the plate, but his defense oh god.

Dude, Scioscia always lets fresh players play after a brutal, extra-innings game.  He demands to keep guys who are on the bench fresh, because you never know when they have to be called upon.  Shuck's defense is terrible, but his offense and spirit as been superb.

[Stradling]

Haha.

[m0nkey]

I like Shuck.  His defense, to be politically correct, doesn't suck but there are better defenders out there, but I'll take what he's doing out there right now instead of taking my chances with calhoun

[shellback]

i been done with the guy for a long time.

stradling coulddn't have put it any better.

I think that these players are professional athletes and don't really need days off. When Trout got a day off last week that was the last straw for me. The kid is 21 years old, he doesn't need a day off, are you kidding me. Million Dollar Babies is all they are.

I still want him fired.  Seeing how this team can play its BS how badly they played to start the season.

[ispy45]

We are 11-3 when Shuck starts.

And yet all managers give their players days off now and then. These guys being professional athletes still get tired and still need days off now and then to keep them strong through the long season. Complaining about players getting a day off every once in a while or starting a different catcher after an extra inning game or a day after night game is silly.

jmo these players develop a rythmn (sp) playing every day. when you break that with days off and changing the batting order constantly, its gotta hurt.

[Tyler]

Who knows, maybe he forced Hamilton to get back to dipping ASAP. If so, he deserves a 10 year extension.

[Lou E Ville]

Why does anyone need a day off right now? The team will have five days off in the coming week and a half.

[Lifetime]

Who's getting a day off now?

[Mile High Dreams]

I got a day off on Thursday...and I am a professional.

I will say this about Mike, this is the most consistency the lineup has seen in the past four years. It was about four years ago he really stopped trying and has just been going through the motions ever since.

[Tyler]

Whats our record with and without Bourjos?

Bourjos is on the DL. He's been unlucky remember?

[ispy45]

It wasn't the Dip, IMO,Hamilton was hurt towards the second half last year, and the first half this year. He just didn't want to say too soon because of the contract. Ever since Josh received shock therapy on his wrist, he has been hitting.

[Stradling]

Yes he is unlucky. He probably should avoid 90+mph fastballs, that what the good players do.
