Buddy Bleeping Bell
I really hate to call people names, but this guy is dumber than Allard Baird. For the second or third time in recent games when trailing by one run in the top of 9th with no outs this pathetic excuse of a manager orders the sacrifice bunt. There is a reason why "on the road you play to win" and it has completely eluded the Budster.
Good Grief, if Bill James were dead he would be rolling over in his grave.

Tiger fans endured Buddyball for three years. It featured strategic blunders, benching the wrong guys, constant arguing with umpires, and the total inabililty to learn that when something hasn't worked, don't keep trying it. The Tigers managed to be league leaders in such wonderful categories as caught stealing and fewest batter walks during his tenure - of course, due to the fact that he likes "aggressive baseball."
He got a good rep when he was a coach in Cleveland, and the team was going to win 90+ games if they had airlifted a guy from Afghanistan to coach for them. Why anyone would hire him after his failure in Detroit is a matter of curiosity, to put it mildly.

Don't forget his tenure with the Rockies....as well...Bell could be a decent mgr..but he's saddled with crappy teams, which probably help destroy what baseball brain cells, he has....Buddy is probably one of those guys who is better off being a coach..than a skipper....
