I don’t like oli but I think he did well tonight he has got to start trusting graceffo as the bridge guy instead of using stanek and others
Really? You don't like Oli? We couldn't tell from your 50+ posts each night telling us how much every move he makes is the worst.

Thanks for letting us know!
Most of his moves are bad in advance he’s made
Good moves tonight I approve. He needs to trust graceffoninstead of trusting stanek and svanson like he has been
Preach!
To who? The Oli haters circle jerk club?
Pretty much. Yes! Would you pull BP pitchers that are pitching well? GG can go more than 2 innings! Ya do not manage with an IPad. Especially with this anemic BP.

I'm not too mad at it. That's who I would've used at the time. Just didn't have it tonight. He's usually been pretty good this year.

I'm more worried about Svanson. He's fallen off HARD.

I wouldn’t have been opposed to graceffo going more than two but if he wants to Save him For potential use tomorrow yea I certainly approve if he uses him three today you don’t use him tomorrow if he uses him two today one for tomorrow yea good move. Plus this is a game you use svanson for to see what he does and pull him if he’s trying to blow it.
All in all good job by oli tonight but even if he had to use O’Brien

I'm not mad, just think I would have sent Svanson back out for the ninth. He had some momentum after digging out of that crevasse he created. Svanson might need to come back tomorrow, not sure the starter tomorrow, but hope it is Liberatore. He should be able to go six or more.

Stanek one year deal? Good gamble
Soriano decent stuff. Good gamble
I’d send Svanson down because I like his future potential.
The kid was great last season but is obviously not right mentally.
Has to be killing him inside.
Let him work it out at Memphis.
