Oquendo was pointing at 3B and yelling at Garcia the whole time, so either Garcia couldn't hear or was ignoring him.BW23 wrote:Yes. And why wasn't Oquendo telling him what to do?

How hilarious would it be if Oquendo started treating pitchers like 3rd graders and told them the basics once they reached third?
Oquendo: Okay, Sup, there's one out and they're playing back
Sup: Okay?
Oquendo: Anything on the ground and you go; they're not going to throw home.
Sup: Okay? So, I run if it's a groundball to the second baseman?
Oquendo: *slaps him on the ass* Now you got it Sup.
***
Oquendo: Garcia, look, there's one out and Holliday is up.
Garcia:
Oquendo: Okay. If it's in the air, you sit on the base until it is caught. Then you run home when I tell you to go. If it drops, you'll walk home. Any questions?
Garcia: Ahhhhhhhh!!! Okay, coach. Now I understand.

Thanks. Only saw one replay and didn't see Oquendo.

Think the new manager tried to get a little too cute at the end there.

I've heard a lot of this. I understand that he's made a few mistakes defensively, but who exactly would we use as our middle infielders? Descalso and who? Pete Kozma? Are we going to dig Alex Cora and his 562 OPS last year up from whatever hole he crawled into after he was cut?Joe Shlabotnik wrote:If there is a God, the club will release Tyler F'n Greene.Swirls wrote: Greene is out of options, so unless the club releases him I doubt he's going back down.
Greene isn't an asset for this club, but he's not much of a problem either.
