MR. MAYOR
Assistant: Mayor Mo Lite, Governor Lou--------------- Merloni is on hold and Mr. Manny is still waiting with some kind of device containing dirty water.
Mayor Mo Lite: Tell them all to wait. I have to bail Shady Chicken Little out again.
Timlin has had difficulty this season with the long ball, most notably against LHB who SLG 507. Jose Valentin is a switch hitter that has hit 100 home runs from 2000 to date. 93 of the 100 home runs have been hit left-handed. Shady Chicken Little put Timlin in a position with a high probability for failure; just the opposite of a manager’s responsibilities. The expanded rosters gives the Sox three lefties (Embree, Fossum, Sour-patch) in the pen. The Sox can mix and match lefty/righty when the situation warrants. Shady Chicken Little needs to have the data and make the appropriate decision that will most likely yield the desired outcome like any manager. How many times do the bats need to bail out the rest of the club?
