I get the unluckiness/BABIP numbers, but Wedgie's job is to put players in a position to succeed. He cost us at least one of the Chicago games by not lifting the entitled Ibanez for a pinch hitter against a tough lefty, and keeping him in LF for the game-losing sac fly. He seems to be continuing to support the veteran entitlement, and not wanting to shame them by pulling them at key points of the game.
Ryan's blown squeeze bunt still drives me nuts. When you can't hit, become an effective bunter. This concept goes back to little league, and Ryan is supposed to be a pro. He wasn't unlucky to bunt it back to the pitcher. It was just poor execution. I'd think Miller or Franklin could do better. When is the trade deadline, and don't some teams need a glove SS?
