Pinch Hit Murphy

So why did Wash pinch hit Cruz for Murphy?  I know it worked out well from the defensive side, but if that was his reasoning I would have thought Wash would do that AFTER Murphy had batted.  Am I just reading too much into murph's small sample size performance? He seems to have a hot bat right now...

I was all for hiring
Trey Hillman. I cast my vote for Hillman.

The LSB community voted for Trey Hillman to lead this team. Hicks and JD didnt want to pay the extra money to get Hillman is the reason we don't have him.

Hicks and JD decieded to go with Wash over a dinner meeting. Instead of paying more money to Hillman to manage this team.

Hillman
So why did the A's and Padres not hire him either? Were they also being cheap?

Yes
both other teams were cheap too.

seriously, is someone asking "Were the A's cheap?"  Whenever anyone asks that just know its yes.  they've been cheap since they short changed reggie jackson 30 years ago.

.500 or bust!

Is it possible....
...the Rangers felt Washington would be a better manager?

No
Gabbard is our "ace"...yes I believe that!

I hope not
I would almost rather the reason he is the manager be more about money than because they thought he would be a good manager.  If it's the latter then the powers that be need their heads examined because he sucks.

Probably because...
left handers are hitting .160/.209/.320 against George Sherrill

you got to admit
Wash is not a leader. He's not a Skipper to lead this this team to a ALDS. Moreover, a ALCS or a World Series

don't get me wrong
I'm sure Wash is a great guy. But he's not the right person to manage and lead this team.
