I'm not sure how qualified that makes him to be the infield instructor.
Good hitters don’t always make the best hitting coaches; in fact the inverse is more often true.
Perhaps.
I tend to think that hitting skills and defensive skill differ in that regard, at least as far as positioning is concerned.

Tip your cap to Cain
That was masterful. Marquis was also pretty nice tonight. I don’t like giving this game to them and then saying we would have won if Sori and Aram were there. I agree that Fontenot, Cedeno, and Marquis is similar to what the Giants were throwing out there in the 7th, 8th, and 9th spots, but we are a 50 win team at the half-way mark. We have to find ways to win when the big boys are not there.
We need to give Jimmy a game or two to sit. When we all thought he would be a cancer to this line-up, he has been playing hurt because we had no other options, and he has earned my respect. Just a thought.
Agreed on J-Ed

Game Management
Lou outmanaged himself again tonight.
Batting The Riot in the 7th was not very smart. Because he did that he burned a pinch hitter on an already short bench and needed to use another one the very next inning for the pitcher. There is no way Geo scores on a double and it is questionable if he can score from second on a single. If he does not pinch hit the Riot in the 7th, he can use him in the 8th or if Cedano would have gotten a hit he could have used the Riot in the 7th. He needed to preserve EPat for the 9th Inning for pinch running duties. He need to think about what was potentially coming up in the 8th and 9th inning when making these decisions with a short bench
Just poor game management in that situation
"Aw, how could he (Jorge Orta) lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico." -- Harry Carey
the games over 5 minutes
and the second guessing begins.
he’s experimenting and seeing what goes where. we’ll be fine. :-)
