Hold Jay Johnson to the same standard as football and basketball coaches

I was surprised to hear Johnson say post-game that he already had his pitching set up BEFORE the game. I can understand obviously the starter but the way he handled the 9th is still utterly ridiculous. Once again, the CORRECT thing to do is to bring out Ackenhausen for the 9th and if he puts anybody on base then you bring in Jump....I have no problem with Jump pitching IF NEEDED!

But let's compare Johnson's own statement with say LSU football or basketball coaches. Those coaches and Johnson are supposed to take into the flow of the game. Everyone here should know the concept...it is called "adjustments" and people crucify the FB and BB coaches when they don't. Well, Johnson did NOT adjust to Ackenhausen pitching lights out in the 8th...3 Ks in 3 batters. So yeah, to predetermine the change of pitchers in the 9th for 0 reason at all for this game was stupid! Sorry, it was and that isn't hindsight at all. That is called "game time adjustments". In this case, if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.
