Is it just me or does it seem like he's almost afraid to swing the bat? I know he had a 3-1 count, and I would have let the pitcher pitch to me, too. But he sure doesn't seem to want to swing at good pitches and he K's looking a lot.
Bowa is and always will be an asshat. He's a ****ing third-base coach. Seriously, people.
And if I were Colletti, I'd have his ass for talking out of it. Not his place. I can see Torre speaking hypothetically like that, but not Bowa.
And every freakin' idea he pitched there is absolutely idiotic. We don't need THREE bats via trade. We need Kemp to pull his head out of his ass and start having better discipline at the plate and on the bases. We need Jones to come around (which I'm almost sure he will, sooner or later). We need our starting SS back.

It just baffles me that the coaching staff (or just Bowa) feel losing Pierre is in any way equatable with losing Furcal. I did this already, but here are the lines for Furcal, Pierre, and Kemp batting out of the number 1 spot:
