TOP 5 MLB MANAGERIAL BLUNDERS OF ALL TIME
The World Series ended last night in truly startling
fashion, and it’s inspired me to talk about the worst manager decisions I've
ever seen. Strap in, there’s gonna be cursing. @SouthieDanimal
5. Grady Little & Pedro, ALCS Game 7, 2003
This one used to be top of the list
for me, being a die hard Sox fan. But since this happened, they’ve won 4 World
Series & New England has won roughly 59 championships, so its softened over
time. But man, Grady not pulling Pedro when he hit the magic number of 100
pitches not only cost the Sox the chance at the Series, but also cost Grady his
job. Just such a dumb fucking move. TAKE HIM OUT OF THE GAME FOR CHRIST SAKE!!
Ok, maybe it hasn’t softened.

4. Buck Showalter & Zach Britton, Wild Card Game, 2016
This one infuriated me & I’m not even a fan of the team.
Buck’s team was tied up trying to win to make it to the ALDS. In the most cut
throat, do or die type situations in baseball, you need a killer reliever. Buck
had THE killer in Britton, whose ERA was roughly zero all year. So what’d he do
as this game went into extra innings? HE LEFT HIM IN THE FUCKING BULLPEN. This
is tantamount to having a rocket launcher but leaving it on the ground as a
bear attacks you. It was unfathomable that night & years later Buck is
still sitting in the dugout, considering his pitching options to this day.

3. Dave Roberts & Rich Hill, Game 4, World Series 2018
I love Dave Roberts. We all do here
in Boston. Mainly for the two World Series he won for us. The first one with
his infamous slide in the ALCS against the Yankees. And the second one a few
years ago when he inexplicably pulled Rich Hill after six innings of one hit
baseball, allowing the Sox to batter a tired bullpen...wait a minute...this
sounds familiar...

2. Kevin Cash LAST FUCKING NIGHT
Is he an idiot? IS HE A FUCKING IDIOT? WHAT THE FUCK? Did he
forget all about a game that happened like 2 years ago? He did the exact same
FUCKING thing Roberts did! He’s got an ace fucking DISHING it out there on the
rubber, he pulls him early and he loses the fucking World Series. I’M
LIVID...and it has very little to do with the amount of money I had on the Rays
to win the Series with a JUICY line. GOD DAMN YOU CASH.

1. Pete Carroll throwing the ball in the Super Bowl
I mean...come on. This is the dumbest thing any person in
charge of a team has ever done...ever. What a dope. Fucking run the ball, you
smiling touchy feely dipshit. It makes me so happy. GO PATS.
