re: Is Taylor Dugas the biggest mistake of the Mainieri era

Biggest mistake IMO would probably be his handling of Ott the last couples of seasons, kept trusting him time and time again and let him fail over and over until he really had no confidence out there on the mound

That's a good point. He did sort of wreck Ott.

I know these wouldn't qualify as biggest, but I second guess Mainieri's entire strategy against Florida game one last year. Pulling Eades after he mowed UF down in the eighth was questionable, but forgivable because you had Ott. Bunting Jones (I think it was) in the ninth was unforgivable, though.
