Whereas if you sit a guy after he's had a bad game, negativity gets into his head and he starts beating himself up."

Thanks Blackinkbiz for the quote. Could not remember when he said the above.

After 6 decades of MLB I cannot remember ANY manager saying such mental tripe. Safe to say that TLR, Lasorda, Sparky, Alston, Cox, Weaver, Martin, Durocher et al would throw you out of the clubhouse or dugout if such blasphemy was uttered.

OF course the Marmot is the same mental midget that said (paraphrasing) he was not worried about whether he would manage the Cardinals beyond the end of this season something or somehow things would work out. Must be listening to MO Ran and his gibberish how other MLB teams want his services.
