See, I thought about that, but then why not give the ball to Cano to start the 8th? Cuz if he's on, he finishes the meat of their order on 12-15 pitches, and should've been deemed strong enough to finish off the backend of their order in the 9th, and if not, they push the questionable pitchers to face the weaker part of their lineup anyway.
Yup. Ill take my chances with Cano against the heart of their lineup. Always shouldve lined it up that way. If Bautista or anyone else is facing 5,6,7 8 Ill take my chances but I used my best bullet on Acuna, Olson, Riley, Murphy.
I point out all the BP management mistakes. Its not 2nd guessing either. Hes gotten awaywith a lot of crap so far.Its so apparent. Numerous things. Using 3 guysnin an inning. Not setting up his highest lev arms to face the best parts of lineups, not seeing that a matchup is pointless when the opposition is going to pinch hit. Its so robotic. Its like we are still living in the LOOGY era and hes facing an AI who isnt going to counter with the best options.
