So that didn't take long. Miggy is already questioning his new coach publicly. Not to say that he doesn't have a good point, because he does, but publicly? After 7 games? I do wonder about that.
Basically, the Astros were in a tie game late yesterday in Chicago, and Derrick Lee comes up to the plate, who is a great hitter. Well, new manager Cecil Cooper thought it would be a good idea to be aggressive and go get Lee. Yeah, that didn't work out so well, and the Astros lost 3-2.
Now, I think that it is our place as fans to question that, because it probably was pretty stupid. (In the interest of full disclosure, I didn't watch the game, so my opinion is only based on what I read and see secondhand) But I am not sure how I feel about a player PUBLICLY questioning his manager when he has only been on this team for 7 days. We aren't talking about Jeff Bagwell questioning his manager here. We are talking about a brand new player who probably should have just kept his mouth shut! Especially considering, wasn't this the same guy who tried to stretch a single into a double late in a game and got thrown out when we needed baserunners?
Just a thought...
And on a side note...how bad is the Astros offense looking? If you would have told me last Sunday that the Astros would be 2-5, I would have assumed that we lost 5 games 9-7, but that has not been the case at all! The starting pitchers, other than Roy, have been outstanding! So let's hope that keeps up, because the bats will come around!
