Yup all the critics on TD would be amazing coaches if they got to see the result before making a decision.

Two things can possibly happen when a baseball coach makes a decision

1) It doesn't work out and everyone is critical of the coach for putting a player in that position.

2) It works out but but no one gives the coach credit it all goes on the player for getting out of a situation.

Now going back to the subject of the thread. Yes, I have always dis liked Maineri for throwing his players under the bus to the media.

This is stupid..

1) Person on the mound walking people cant find the strike zone. In Game thread is going nuts on why there is no action in the pen. THEN we load the bases up and CPM sends people to the pen.

2) In game thread.. Newman is pitching tight curve balls LSU ties the game. THEN he is pulled for BAIN. Everyone in the thread asking WHY? Then Bain stuggles for an inning.. Comes out for the next inning.. Many posters saying WHY! Then Bain screwed up.

3) Reports that Godfrey is in the pen warming up.. At least 10 posts are made questioning WHY.. The umpires strike zone is way too small. THEN Godfrey is put in.

4) Godfrey is pulled for Duvall who shuts the inning down. Many posters in jest claim that he wont be back next inning which is true.

5) Norman pulls off an amazing inning. LSU is down by 3 but we may have found our pitcher. Many jokes are made in jest that Mainieri will pull him.. Ell jokes that he will replace him with Stallings.. Laughter ensued..

6) Son of a bitch.. he replaced Norman with Stallings.. Who gives up 2 more runs..

Yes all of this is the result of being able to see the result before making the decision.
