Now I agree... Cooper worst manager in baseball

[Stros Bro]

After seeing the lineup from in todays game... I posted this in my blog.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING COOPER!?!?!?!!?!?!? I find this move absolutely absurd... Why is Tejada batting 3rd, Berkman batting 4th and Lee batting 5th. WHY?!?!? There is no possible good that can come of this. The only thing that can come of this is for you to get your butt fired. Lance started off the season great, Tejada 's been doing very well and Lee has been doing good enough.. There is no reason to screw with your 3-5 hitters in the lineup, yet that is EXACTLY what you have done. If you want to start screwing with the lineup, you don't screw with your 3 most productive hitters. Heck, Pence had probably his best night of the season and you moved him down a spot!?! Are you trying to see how many dumb moves you can make in a game? Blum had the worst game of the season his last time out and you bumped him ahead of Pence who had his best... Yea, that's a real confidence builder. I just don't understand... I'm trying to find the words to explain this and the only word that keeps coming to my head is ignorance...

I am not worried worst or rating managers, but I think that he is bad so far. Also trying to mess with the hitting is a waste of effort when it is pretty obvious our pitching is killing us. If he wants to get fired that would surprise me. Maybe it means that he thinks the team is hopeless.

This latest move I can't believe. Put in Villareal and take out Rodriguez. As much as Wilfredo was having trouble his trouble is nothing compared to Villareal.

Can't fault Cooper for that... Wandy's groin is sore which is why he came out. Maybe fault him for putting Oscar in though..

I don't get tv. I just follow the game on the website. I wish I had tv but I don't want to spend the money.

well i think tejada should be batting 3rd to begin with, but why he is now screwing around is beyond me..he needs to leave those 3 alone and concentrate on lighting a fire under bourn and pence

iowafan, if your following the game on the Web you can join MLB AUDIO for on 15 dollars for the year and listen to the hometown broadcast without any blackouts

I like the idea of Tejada hitting third followed by Berkman and Lee. I also am convinced that Cooper is in over his head and has no clue as to how to manage a baseball team. Just because you were a good hitter doesn't mean you make a good manager. Drayton hired this guy because he's black. Give him a job as clubhouse boy and hire a real manager.

well, today Coop continues to suck.

Takes Chacon out in the 6th for a pinch hitter (as if our hitters where going to get a single, that ALMOST never happens anyway) and instead have Borkowski, an awful pitcher in a tied game.

What about letting Chacon hit, sac, move the runner and let him continue to pitch instead of having a very bad pitcher in a tied game???/// coop is AWFUL, no way this team can win with such a bad manager.
