I'm sure we've all heard about Jimmy berating his players
about giving away at bats. What I want to know is why does
he give away Sunday Games? The Team is averaging 2 runs
a game on Sunday and have lost all seven (the Yankee
rainout was also a Sunday game). I don't think his Team
has the luxury of resting its' starters all on the same
day of the week. Every Sunday we invariably find Thames,
Inge and Raburn or Santiago or a combination in the
starting lineup. I can understand the reason for resting
starters, but you would think he could spread it out
throughout the week instead of heaping all the "B-Team"
incompitance on us at once. They have scored 3 runs or
less in 6 of 7 Sunday games. His predictability has cost
this Team many games and is only one of the reasons He
is less than a .500 lifetime manager and vastly overrated.
Runs Per Season:
