re: I actually thought Johnson managed tonight well

Probably had red lights. We take a lot of pitches until we get a strike, and you aren’t gonna tell a player to take til he has two. Pearson should have been drag bunting all night though.

It was his coaching of the hitters that blew. Put on some red lights and that pitcher walks himself out of the game.

I don't agree.

We started 2-0 in at least 5 or 6 at bats and when he had to throw strikes we did nothing with it.

In one inning three batters all were 3-2 and struck out on pitches in the dirt. Would have the bases loaded with no outs.
