Bo has officially cemented himself into permanent hatred and eagerness for him to be fired, in my mind. Doing something like that even one time is inexcusable.
I'm in complete agreement, this is such a bad decision, without any justification whatsoever, I would fire him right now. Seriously it's like he decided what is the best thing I could do to lose this game
Sure, if you want him hitting in the 5 spot the rest of the season. Jerome Williams never pitching again would be the silver lining. Bo Porter getting fired at the break would be the golden lining.
Id rather had Altuve pitch the 9th. Can we extend Porters contract a couple more years please. A genius!
He was totally throwing Williams a bone. An undeserved bone. I wonder how the players feel about these sort of moves, and how they can take him seriously when he tries to explain it to them (or explain subsequent moves). And honestly, the only time a good closer really matters is in one run games. He uses Qualls in every 3 run lead save situation, but makes decisions like this in closer games.
Him and Jerome Williams have to be boys or something, because his continued commitment to him literally has no reasoning. He just gave a game away. I'm still in shock really, this level of stupid is beyond comprehension. The players must love him, because Porter is really a terrible game manager.
i let him bait me in for a minute when he went on that mini-hot streak culminating in the walk-off a few weeks ago. i feel dumber for it. i've seen enough of him for a lifetime too. he's terrible.
