THIS!! That Dude has Done an Awful Job this year.
Long Story Short two Routine Ground Balls to the SS. OH WAIT the SS IS NOT THERE due to Stupid Shift BS!!!!!!!
I'm not even talking about the shift. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Those are the breaks.
There is no reason for Kling to be hitting lead off. None. He's the worst hitter in the starting lineup, and he's getting the most ABs. He has no pitch recognition, and is up there guessing at every pitch. We've watched this for two years now. He's not going to suddenly break out.
There is no reason to keep your best pitcher in the pen until Game 3 when you are down 5 runs. None. This isn't last years team. There is zero margin for error with this roster. You don't start a young pitcher over your best arm and just hope for the best.
Stop asking your team to win with one hand tied behind its back. If you put your best players in a position to win and come out on the losing end I can live with that. But these decisions just defy logic, reason and common sense.

quote:Did you watch the game yesterday? You're not going to have Herring start warming up to start the top of the first. That was the only way a guy like him, who is going to stretch out, would have been ready in time. Also, it's not "starting your young arm and hoping for the best." Herring has a role. He is a long relief guy out of the pen. It has been played to perfection this year. Why switch things up when it's one of the only things on the entire time that is consistently working?
