The first week of the season dictates everything that will happen for the rest of the year.

Because - and this will surprise a lot of people - but I think we should start scapegoating Ryan Theriot.

Something about Lou trying to get another 2B this winter...

Not a good time for his first K of the season.

by DeRoMyHero on Apr 6, 2008 3:05 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Well, he is hitting .368 so far.

He hasn't been Theriot bad.

But...

It would be nice if Lou would stop acting like he wants to get rid of him. The best managers try to put their players in their best situations and help their players relax and feel comfortable. I don't classify Lou as a good manager. DeRo should be batting #2 so he wouldn't have to try to be a power hitter.
