Nothing egregious from Schneider today. Pinch running Kirk was debatable. Pitching Yimi yesterday was debatable since today is his 3rd day in a row.
Not pinch hitting Biggio was the only puzzling move unless Belt isn't 100%.
If the score is 1-0 and Kikuchi is pitching a perfect game instead of just a regular gem, do you still pull him third time through the order?
That's the question you need to answer if you really believe in what you're doing.
All of the flaws of this team feed into each other. The bullpen is short one elite setup guy. Obsessing over third time through the order fries the setup guys that we do have. And the biggest problem is the offense not scoring enough runs to give the leverage guys a break.
Our individual hitters are decent but we don't have a lot of power. We need to score playing small ball but we constantly run into outs and GIDPs. Our hitters can't even execute basic things like advancing runners from 2nd.
Our top priority should be acquiring a legitimate lefty masher and praying the rest of the offense wakes up.
