Bochy, let that game be a lesson to you

Don't be promising no 500 at bats to Xavier Nady and then be starting Miguel Ojeda in right field on a night when you try to load the lineup with right handers. The way you're treating Nady is starting to get punkass and you deserve to lose that game.

Now... Start Nady tomorrow, and let's start winning again. And that's not a knock on Ojeda. I like Ojeda too, but quit jerkin' Nady around. Being a prick to Xavier doesn't do anything in the way of positive mojo.

What the hell...
was Bochy thinking?  A catcher in right field?  We can't play Nady at third, but we can put the catcher who can't get on the right side of the Mendoza line in right field!  We did deserve to lose this one.

Too Baffled to Comment
I understand Bochy wanting as many righties in the line-up, but having X ride the pine while the back-up catcher starts in right field?  And then have X pinch hit later in the game?!? Someone as young as X is not going to get any better as a bench player, getting one AB per night. He needs as much experience as possible.

Not Enough Coffee
I say "Too Baffled to Comment" and yet I comment.

Give me a few more cups and perhaps I'll rewrite this in hiaku form.

Java level low
Coffee machine is broken
No caffeine is bad
