Not sure why he took out Rogers who doesn't give up a lot of hard contact. 

JS is the master of unnecessary pitching changes. I was baffled too at taking Rogers out. Maybe they are determined to have Fluharty have 90 appearances by the end of the season.

Either way, great win.

the logic from most people who whine about his moves is "if it fails it was wrong and if it works it was right..."

It was right.

It was right. 

If he kept Rogers in and it failed, I don’t think anyone would have second guessed it. Rogers is legitimately good and doesn’t need to be replaced due to a LHB coming up.

I beg to differ. I absolutely would have called Schneider an idiot.

You had a lefty-lefty matchup, followed by turning around a power threat to his weakest side even if the lefty gets on.

Rogers isn't terrible against left-handed hitters but he's clearly worse against them. The only home runs he's given up I believe have been to lefties. Edit: yes I know he's only given up one home run, but it was to a lefty.

I think that's exactly when you make the change. 

I don't understand why there was so much drama about that move.

For a top pitching prospect in all of baseball, I kind of expected...more. I mean I know we were only okay against him but that's mostly because we suck, especially in early innings where we usually do nothing. I figured he would be more dominant than he was.

Yeah his stuff isn’t exactly off the charts which makes me think he dominated the minors due to his pitchability. Guys like that tend to play down when they hit MLB.

He's a huge let down 

Based on two mlb starts?

He absolutely dominated in AA.

Yes his stuff is a huge let down 

No clue how he pulled off those numbers in AA but they made people think he was going to be an Ace of Aces. I fear he'll just be a command forward SP2 or so. Oh well

Also Fluharty has huge nuts and rises the occasion against the best players on other teams
