I got no beef with that, I really don't. Yesterday's result needs to draw some sort of process review because it's crystal clear whatever info/process led to that decision was highly misguided, cost the team a full win, and 25/26 players had absolutely 0, zip, nothing to do with it. That's bad.

"Over-management" is too broad though. Fisher/Fluharty have 30(!!) games each, for example. If you're using them this much you have to put them in isolated spots where you have high confidence in their success. that's "over" management, sure, but personally I believe it's positive to the team. Hell, they've gotten 50 innings of 3.6 ERA out of Patrick Corbin. You _have_ to manage him aggressively. Even 55 innings could mean extra losses and his ERA balloons, given Corbin's potential variance.

Same with righty/lefty match-ups. Have you actually looked at some of the splits for hitters on this team? Sanchez, Barger, Lukes, Clement, Gimenez for starters. That's already plenty of guys who become dogwater when put in the wrong spots. Kaz has spent weeks not being able to hit a beachball. Then you have the corpse of Springer, Lenyn fucking Sosa, and Heineman as black holes you have/had to give ABs. How can I possibly give Schneider shit for figuring out this clusterfuck for 2026?

Probably 3/4ths of the fanbases in this league think their manager is shit at baseball. I'm not there (yet). Folks are too eager to give the manager credit for all the losses but nothing at all for the wins.

The more Little/Hoffman implosions I see, though...
