    Yeah, how ridiculous he put a guy largely cruising along back in with 95 pitches to ideally pitch through the 7th. Come on, this wasn't the stupid Samardijza decision from the other day.

    You know he's just sitting there and touching himself inappropriately waiting for Castro and Soriano to screw up or not run something out so he can go full meatball.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    APPLAUD THAT POST, YOU ANIMALS.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    How is that possibly anything but a hindrance to, well, EVERYTHING?
  6. Sammy Sofa
    That's the best hat ever, you monster.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    The bold part seems like a REALLY broad generalization that excuses the fact that very obviously sets himself up to "have" to use the more unreliable member of the bullpen.

    I agree...but one of the ways managers can actively take part in winning them is with defensive shifts. And Dale is a defensive shift wizard. Like I said, he does a lot of things I like, but since there's only two options there's not a lot of room for nuance. Given all of the convincing arguments as to how this team's record should be a lot better and given how many wins they've blown because of his inexplicable handling of the bullpen, that main negative is too glaring for me to overlook.

    In a black and white yes or no situation I see no way for anybody to honestly answer yes. In a more nuanced poll there's room for debate. Definitely; in no way is my vote some kind of a meatball-y "HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED NAO"-type of response. He's done and does a lot that I like and hopefully he's fixable.

    Easily "no;" I'm firmly of the belief that it's much easier for managers to lose games than it is for them to actively "win" them. My ideal managers are the ones where I forget they're there; Sweum was that for a while, but the bullpen management is just too glaringly obvious to miss and has likely cost them at least half a dozen games. Having a deeply flawed bullpen shouldn't be an excuse but an opportunity for a manager to show that they're actually capable. He's failing too spectacularly in that regard for me to vote "yes."

    HA-HA! It's like like a best of for teams that are bad! I get things!
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Man, I gotta be up at 7, I'm outta here.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    This is a ridiculous thing to say.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    They're still gonna win this.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    While I also have issues with bullpen management in this game, I think it should be pointed out that Sveum was tossed in the 2nd inning. Managers can still manage the team very easily after being tossed, and the bullpen management tonight has been textbook Sweum.

    They'll pull the same crap and use him in lower leverage spots and he'll be tolerable for a couple weeks and then he'll implode yet again when they inexplicably use him in a critical spot.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Christ, he is done, in all senses of the word. Get him out of there or else the game will never end.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Uhhhhh, don't you know that Russell has to be pulled immediately if he isn't perfect? Who do you think he is, Marmol?
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Sooooooooo they really had Marmol out there with nobody else up in the bullpen?
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Just because Sweum is screaming crazy things down the hall doesn't mean they have to listen to him.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    I'll be happy with just offsetting that last 6-game losing streak.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Maybe someone will tell Castro what Baez did today and it'll motivate him to dazzle us all with some walkoff magic.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    See? It's all good in the hood. Let me clutch you, crying babies.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Ahhh, they still got this. No worries.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, no kidding; I don't know why Kyle thought he'd be done given they're up and they have this turd of a bullpen.
