Much ado about nothing - FP's remark.  Much more important - Williams' judgement (or lack thereof) continuing to stick Soriano in.  Honestly enough is enough.  Soriano doesn't have it anymore.  He almost blew Strasburg's best game of the year.

Couple of days ago my wife and I were saying Soriano is to Matt Williams as Henry Rodriguez was to Davey Johnson. The analogy isn't perfect, of course, because it doesn't give Soriano credit for his good effort earlier, but in both cases you have a manager continuing to use a guy who's pretty clearly lost it. The difference this time is management hasn't forced Williams's hand like they did to Johnson last year when they DFA'd Rodriguez.
