People need to stop being so defensive when anyone questions Lou. He has done well at changing the offensive approach of this team and holding players accountable BUT his use of the bullpen is as bad as it gets. For starters, when Z was at ~ 100 pitches after 7, you simply have to take him out there. Our BP can close out a 6 run game in the 8th. Then, the lead is pushed to 7 and you bring in the Shark instead of Eyre? Eyre hasn't pitched in WEEKS! Let him go out there, even if he allows 4-5 runs, we still win comfortably. Then, you likely have the Shark available for the final two games of the series, instead of just one of the games. He just takes completely unnecessary risks. Keep in mind, there were a lot of complaints about Marmol's usage and they proved to be completely warranted. It doesn't take a genius to figure this stuff out.
