In other words, he acted just like Smoke acts in games. And I would guss that Skip may have been more respected than any coach in the country. And I haven't been able to see but a few games this year on TV but in the game sI've seen Smoke is not the robot people point him out to be. Heck, I saw him arguing calls in the Bama series several times, he was out of the dugout a few times in the UGA series and almost got tossed in both.
Finally, this week's Baseball America poll is out and the Tigers tumbled to number 22! http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/college/top25.html
If you are blaming anything on Clay Harris you are sadly mistaken. He may have made a few errors but his play as been very good compared to all second basemen and he's hit very well. Better jump on another point.
I wonder why we never fired Skip in 1995 when he loss 3 series in a row and 4 out of 5? Damn, we should fire Joe Dean!!!!! :lol: I watched a Yankees game and Torre sat in the cornber of the dugout the entire game, never moved, he should be fired. Damn, Cox did the same thing, he even sent Leo out to the mound instead of going himself, the lazy b#st#rd. Cox even had the nerve to let Smoltz come out and pitch the eighth innning and lo & behold he gives up the go ahead home run. Fire his fat arse.
Hey look, man, if you can't deal with other people expressing their opinions, then maybe this isn't the best place for you. Chill out, man. Yours is not the only point of view that counts.
I'm dealing with it, don't even get mad, just repond to the other post, what's wrong with that? Or the guys who support Smoke supposed to be quiet? Especially when most of it is drivel about him sitting on the bench and letting his pitching coach tal kto the pitcher, etc.
You're sitting there getting all sarcastic towards those who are just expressing an opinion, and that's a load of crap. You support Smoke? Fine. I respect that. You have that right. By the same token, I have a right to criticize him. And since I don't come back w/ smartass comments when you do support him (although Lord knows I could), I'd expect the same courtesy.
I thought it was just me. CajDav is right. If the bashers can't come up with more than Smoke's demeanor during games as a reason for the slump, they deserve to be ridiculed. Oh, I forgot, the players are also whooping it up on Saturday nights. :dis:
