Bruce Bochy Has Shit For Brains

Imagine you're a manager of an MLB team. The game is tied in the top of the 13th and your inexperienced left-handed pitcher has put guys on first and third. Now coming to the plate with two outs is right-handed stud Edgar Renteria who is batting an outstanding .335 on the year. Your young lefty pitcher has struggled with his control in the last few pitches, including almost hitting the previous batter in the face. In the bullpen, you have right-handed pitcher Vinnie Chulk who has allowed right-handed batters to plate just 6 runs in 26 innings on the season. What would you do? You'd bring in Vinne Chulk to get your team out of a jam and keep the game tied.

What did Bruce Bochy do tonight? He allowed the young lefty to pitch to Renteria, who, to absolutely no one's surprise, hit a bases clearing double.

Well, that one got screwed up, but we've got another chance to get it right. Now we find ourselves with a man on second and none other than Chipper Jones coming to bat. Do you still leave your young, shaken lefty in to face Chipper? Hell no! Unless you're Bruce Bochy.

Another hit and another run later, and the Giants have a 3-run deficit staring them in the face as they headed to the plate in the last of the 13th, rather than the tied game it would have been if their manager wasn't some dumbshit with more hairs on his upper lip than functioning cells in his brain. MLB managers are incredibly stupid. I guarantee you I could do that job better than 90% of them.
