ive seen cowgill nearly collide with trout several times while calling him off for balls that clearly belong to trout. you would think it's the manager's job to step in and stop him from doing that before something bad happens, oh like an error or even worse - trout gets hurt.
what does scioscia do around here besides putting out the most ridiculous looking lineups, mismanaging the bullpen, and micromanaging the lefty/righty matchups to death?
