    Was that legal blocking of the plate? Seems ridiculous

    I dno man, I'm far far from a fan and you may be right but you can't knock this team's turnaround which came at a time when many on here said we simply didn't have the talent and we overrated our chances going into the year. You also can't exactly knock what we achieved last year in his first season.

    We will see how things work out, but for now it's time to put the knives away and get behind him. This is a young team and a turnaround like this doesn't come easily to a bad manager

    I guess Hinch being an idiot depends on the day or how the wind's blowing or how the sun shines or if the birds are signing.

    Well, i said that this team was good and we were playing bad baseball and thats why i thought Hinch was not doing a good job, this is a good team.

    And after a slow start to the season by a young team under heavy expectations, we have played very good baseball. So is Hinch trash or is he good?

    He made some moves that are helping this team a lot.
    One, Springer leading of, great move.
    Marwin hitting second, (i wanted that a long time ago, and a friend trash me for that)
    Moving Correa to hit 4th
    Using Gattis vs left handed pitcher as a catcher.
    Looks like he has put the stop sign for runners now, good move.
    Giving another chance to Gomez.
    Using Harris as a closer.

    Now, in disagreement, the way Devenski is used.
    The way Giles is used, when you have Feliz who is doing better.
    Letting K pitch 1 inning too many in his starts, this is the K from this year, not last

    Not using Kemp more vs right handed pitcher (over Gattis)
    Many times looks out managed by the other manager, making small errors that cost in close games.


    But, he takes the blame when we lose, he has to take the credit when we win

    So right now he has all the credit of the world.

    I can't believe Kennedy got that much air time. Of course it's while the Royals are batting.

    He must be so pleased to have some sort of approval from you. Of course, he's still not QUITE as clever as you but he's getting there

    So were you wrong when you said Hinch is a bad manager?

    You have to wonder if Marwin had stretched towards the throw rather than towards the infield if he'd been out. It looked like bad footwork on his part there.
