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.
