Worst manager in Mlb : Frank Robinson

[bullpen45]

God thing no one watchs any Expos game ( even here in Montreal ) , Frank Robinson is so bad ...
example : On saturday ( against the Reds ) Reds ahead 6-2 , top of the sixth , runner at third and 1 out for Corey liddle ( the pitcher ) ...he takes Chad Bentz out ( against whom rh are hitting o for 16 so far this season ) and puts in Luis Ayala ( to face the Pitcher !!! ), results base hit , one run scores ...
next inning Expos rally with 4 runs ...final score : 7-6
And today ...He puts pitcher Tomo Okha in the no 8 spot in the batting order ( and jamey Carrol in the 9th ) . Results ...in the first inning , Okha comes to the plate , with 2 outs ...with the bases loaded ...inning over . ( but this time he got lucky ..and we still won ...no thanks to Mr.Robinson

You must admit it must really suck to have to manage that team, regardless of who you are. I'd like to see how he does with a decent team before judging him completely.

Re: Worst manager in Mlb : Frank Robinson

It's just like Bochy managing the Padres for the last few years, having to work with Nevin on the DL, starting pitchers from the minor leagues (a few worked out though, Peavy and Perez), a bunch of scrubs on the bench and some on the starting lineup to surround the likes of Rondell last season and Klesko the last two years. It's tough. Let him get some real talent before judging him.

Re: Worst manager in Mlb : Frank Robinson

If you take a look at the Expos lineup you will see that this is not a team that should be playing like that .
He's been sticking with Rocky Biddle as the closer for about 2 years ...the guy has an era of over 7.00 and he doesn't get 1k per inning ( as a decent closer should ) .

Re: Worst manager in Mlb : Frank Robinson

He had Vladimir Guererro last year , and when we came close to a wild card race Robinson chocked .
(using Biddle for closing game , using RHP vs LH hitters ...) people here in Montreal were wondering if it was because Robinson is getting paid by the Major League Baseball ( the Expos being owned by MBL right now ) and that the MLB would'nt want to be in a position to move a team that just made the playoffs .
Brad Wilkerson was hitting somwehere close to .350 as a leadoff hitter last year ...but in the wild card race ..he kept using Chavez ( who thinks of himself as Harmon Killebrew , who dosn't draw any walks ...)

Re: Worst manager in Mlb : Frank Robinson

You can't exactly blame him for the Expos being so bad. Their best player is Vidro, and other than Orlando Cabrera, there is really no talent on that team.
