re: Coach still doesn't know when to pull the pitcher

Naw man CpM's major coaching flaw is poor timing when it comes to reliever pitchers!! He pulls guys to early or late he's nearly 60 years old and he isn't going to magically change.

Ahh the good ole too early too late argument. I will give you leaving people in too late sometimes because that can be seen To a certain extent, but how can someone possibly say he took them out too early. Let's say a guy comes in pitches a perfect 7th inning. If he takes him out then people say he took him out too soon. What if the coach you know that spends his entire life understanding his players knows that he is not good after that one inning. So let's say he puts him in gives up a home run on the next pitch you guys will turn around and say he should have known that he was in too long. It's a no win scenario for the guy because the people on the rant that watch the pitchers pitch two to three times a week know more than the guy who sees them every day knows them, knows their lives. Knows where they are emotionally and physically to play the game of baseball.
