thats too short term, you cant just demand a quick fix. 5 games back at the all star break and youre well within reach whether its division or wild card.
Its not a lack of effort, its a lack of execution. We arent losing because guys aren't running out ground balls, or diving for fly balls, do you even watch the games? You really think thats the difference between wins and losses right now?
true enough. I think many managers would have played it the same way though. You see it all the time where managers wait to use their closer until they have the lead on the road. Im not saying I necessarily agree with it, its just how it is generally played
yeah kind of a playoffs or bust type of deal. I agree the trade price was too high, but that poster was talking about salary (5M), and i can confirm that with his stupid Tommy Milone comment
it wasnt a matter of rest or saving him for future games, it was about saving him for this game in case a save opportunity arose later. So we werent forced to use Lincoln as a closer
