Why is this past his prime, losing machine still starting. Why is he a #1 catcher. During the drive to make the playoffs, Manuel repeatedly pinch hit for Lieberthal, he didn't play him with Jon Lieber and the team was better for it. Mike Lieberthal singlehandedly lost the game tonight:
1. He repeatedly misframed pitches causing every close pitch to go for a ball.
2. He and Flash weren't on the same page and Flash called a pow wow to tell Lieberthal to follow his lead.
3. He couldn't even throw out Albert Pujols who stole second rather he air-mailed it to center allowing Pujols to go to Third
4. Then with the bases loaded after the previous two batters had walked. He swings at the first two pitches both of which were outside and grounds out.
Lieberthal is done. I say we cut Lieberthall and bring up Chris Coste or Carlos Ruiz - this guy has blown more Philly games over the past few years than any other player...
It is a joke that Lieberthal is even in the major leagues, more that Charlie wants to start this guy...
