More Manuel

When your hitters are struggling to move runners and bring them home, as a Mgr, you need to do everything you can to manufacture runs and make good baseball decisions. When the 1st 2 guys at the bottom of your line up get on base, and you know you'll have a pinch hitter on deck, you MUST bunt to ensure you get at least 1 run (infield back), or even 2 with just a single (PH and then Rollins batting).

Then the other night against the Mets, top of the 8th, 5-4 game and you let Geary (pitched to 1 batter in 7th) lead off and HIT? Guess what happened in the bottom of the 8th w/ Geary in... 3 guys get on, bases juiced with 1 out. We end up losing 11-5. You let Geary hit??? Ever heard of a double switch Charlie? Even the announcers seemed confused on that one...

Granted the team sucks and is batting/ pitching horribly, but Manuel's basic decisions aren't helping any.
