Samuel's First Game as Manager Looks Hauntingly Familiar

Got home about 2 hours after last night’s game started and couldn’t stomach much after the first inning. Some observations and random thoughts:


Tillman - no command and no impressive pitches at all; he’s got a nice curve but doesn’t command it right now which is all you need to know about his future success at the major league level

Wiggy - worst base runner ever? Why did he stop on the ball to Pedroia with 2 outs? I actually looked to see how many outs there were and thought that I may have had it wrong. If I can stay in the game, why can’t he? The base running gaffes continue, and why wouldn’t they? Juan Samuel, you are really going to enjoy managing this team!

I’m starting to think that we have a bunch of AAAA pitchers. The disappointment in player development continues, and the losses pile up at a 1962 Mets pace, or better (after checking, the Mets had a .250 winning percentage so the O‘s are Way ahead of that, streaking to a .275!). Hell, even Dave Trembley’s teams beat the Sox this year!
