From The Advocate...
quote:

Johnson said the plan was for Dutton to face Bench then leave the game. The coach had no information on the extent of Dugas’ injury.

“The way they were swinging the bat we needed every advantage we could get,” Johnson said of pulling Dutton. “I didn’t want them to know what we were going to do. But that didn’t work out.”

Bush league. That’s when you know you have lost before the game even starts.

It’s one of those things where if it works out everyone calls him a genius. Because it didn’t, everyone scratches their head.

It’s not unprecedented either. Happens in the majors a lot. Especially when teams have a lefty heavy lineup. The hope is the other team shifts the lineup around to make a more statistically favorable matchup.

This is a goddamn nightmare. People were leery of Vitello because of his hotheadedness but we got a bigger douche who doesn’t win.

Woodward needs to do some damage control now - suspend him for the midweek game and tell him if he ever does something like that again he won’t be wearing P&G

So this is the guy in the game thread that people said was "doing a good job."

So Rantz was right

I made a joke yesterday about how we wouldn’t be bitching had it worked out but seriously it’s pretty shitty

The life of a coach, a bunch of fans with hindsight questioning a decision he makes. If the decision would have worked than no one would have had a problem with it.

Was it unconventional? Yes but he was trying to give us an advantage to win the game, get over it. The team has a lot left to play for. We should hit better in the Tournament when Berry comes back and hopefully Dugas comes back then as well.

Side note, with Dugas' injury hopefully he comes back and plays 3rd base next season.

Jay needs to remember he’s not on the West Coast anymore and to leave the 2008 UC Irvine style shite at home.

LSU fans when the coach doesn’t make adjustments: “Fire the coach! He doesn’t make adjustments!”

LSU fans when the coach makes an adjustment: “Fire the coach! Strategy is chicken shite! Leave that shite in the PAC 12!”

We really are a braindead fan base.

I mean...if we had a guy who could give us 6+ innings on Sunday there's no way this happens. We had basically our entire bullpen at our disposal, there's nothing wrong with exhausting all options in that scenario imo

That looked bad for Dutton because I think most people assumed that he got pulled because he threw one bad pitch that almost left the yard.

Just wow. And to think I have been supporting a coach who does/thinks like this.
