re: No thread complimenting Mainieri for starting Glenn last night?

i disagree completely about it being a weak argument but its whatever.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I could make a pretty good argument that Mainieri a.) knows Glenn better than any of us and can better assess that "risk" or b.) May have even discussed the decision and explained why it was important.

In any case, the point is that it certainly wasn't a crazy/dumb/foolish decision to give the ball to McCune. Saying "I wouldn't have done it and here is why" is reasonable. Saying it was a dumb decision and/or proposing that Mainieri made this decision for the purpose of "demoting Glenn" because he didn't recognize that he had a quality outing a week previous is not reasonable.

In any event, at least Glenn is looking like a guy who will perform well for us moving forward. That was a big question mark for this team about 2-3 weeks ago.
