    I mean it's ok to admit that Hinch does something wrong dude.

    It's obvious that you are doing all you can do avoid saying so because you're worried that you'll be agreeing with Cangrejero. Kind of silly.

    Actually I've said over and over and over that this team has no discipline and that falls directly on Hinch

    Also said he was dumb for not walking Ortiz with a base open

    Just because every post I make doesn't start with "Hinch is an idiot" doesn't mean I'm a homer

    I'm one of the posters that actually post about what is going on, not just someone that wants to be right

    But carry on bro

    so why did you respond to mick the way you did? was an elaborate way of saying that everybody is placing undue blame on hinch as usual, obviously.

    "what was he (Hinch) thinking?"
    "He's not gonna pitch to Ortiz is he?"
    "Can't believe they pitched to Ortiz"

    Etc...on and on....you can troll the social network sports sites aslo

    Not really man

    I just think it is funny how people blast him for any and all moves he makes

    He isn't a good manager in my opinion

    But so much of the stuff on here blasting him is dumb

    He is stupid for playing Gomez and stupid for playing Jake and stupid for playing Tucker and stupid for playing Valbuena and stupid for playing Kratz and stupid for playing White and stupid for using Giles and stupid for using Fields and stupid for using Neshek

    The lineup bashing is crazy when he has no legitimate better options

    He's also stupid for throwing a change up down the pipe to Ortiz right after Castro went out there.

    Yep, I'll never understand why Hinch tells them to throw it right down the pipe in those situations

    once again, what the hell were the 2 of them talking about on the mound?

    how that conference results in a ball in the strikezone on a 2-2 count with a base open is mindblowing.

    If I was a betting man, and I am, I'd say Castro specifically went out there to tell him to give him nothing to hit and he just made a terrible pitch. The ball should have been at his ankles.

    well, hard to place all the blame on hinch, if that was indeed the case. i don't agree with anybody saying "he should have intentionally walked ortiz". there were 2 strikes on him. you just throw 2 pitches out of the reach of his bat and hope he chases. you have 2 (what should be) risk-free shots at getting the guy out.

    Everyone has a valid complaint against Hinch but where is the criticism for Lunhow? Lunhow has been terrible ever since we began sniffing success. He's made some terrible trades and our lineup is a complete joke after Altuve, Springer, and Correa. Yes, Rasmus has been pretty solid but he isn't a cleanup hitter. Oh, and our 6-9 hitters might as all well be pitchers hitting for themselves.

    Exactly, he should have throw that 98 mph heat shoulder high or a change up in the dirt. He's a young kid who made a mistake and left the pitch in the zone.

    Oh he's starting to get some too, dont worry. If/when he fires Hinch his job should be on the line as well.

    The tough part is the guy is good at drafting and finding hidden gems. He just gets fleeced in trades and takes too long to admit a player isn't going to cut it.

    Saying he has been "terrible" is going overboard like the hate Hinch on every post guys

    But, I agree that he needs to share the blame. Hinch hasn't been good, but he hasn't been given the best possible roster either

    Luhnow should have and could have made roster moves to improve us and hasn't, he needs a larger share of the blame than he has been given

    It's funny how so few people are willing to criticize him, maybe it's Morey syndrome
