When Idiot Managers Attack

My nominee for the worst manager in baseball: Jim Tracy in Pittsburgh. Somehow, with all the lousy bats the Pirates have he manages to bat Jason Bay, their best hitter by far, usually 5th in the lineup. Jim, you want your best hitter up in the 1st inning, hopefully with at least one runner on base. Today, he had Jose Bautista (awful), Chris Duffy (awful), Freddy Sanchez and Andy LaRoche (.199 BA) coming up before Bay. Also, when he manages to get Ryan Doumit in the lineup (.954 OPS, best on the club), he usually hits 6th. No wonder the Pirates never get any better. Oh yeah, am i shocked that Tracy is from Ohio and played for the Cubs?
