The whining about Oli

[ecleme22]

He gets paid millions of dollars to coach a child's game.

Don’t understand how one can minimize the role of an mlb manager, but be such a homer for Matheny.

When it comes to Marmol, it’s not one or two things that he’s done. I’ve even moved on from the Helsley thing. The problem I have with him, is that he just keeps doing the same things, that I believe are wrong, over and over. He doesn’t ever seem to learn from past mistakes, or move on from things that don’t work. I don’t like his lineup construction, and his pitching decisions.
A couple of games ago I was complaining about him not allowing players to steal. The results were some DP’s and no runs. Yesterday’s game they ran several times, and each were a key part of the game. Why the sudden change? I find it interesting.

Cards are 12-8.

What's the beef?

You hate bloom and miss mo so there is beef there

Of course I do....
You hate Oli. See how that works.
So you e got nothin

Ttpical.

Because the Dewitts let the franchise rot for 10 years and the fanbase finally wised up and stopped going to games.

Rather fitting.

People feel sorry for him apparently never worked a hard job.

I don’t feel sorry for him, but mlb managing isn’t easy.

Made even harder when the manager isn't very bright.
Pulling a starter after 5 innings, a mere 87 pitches, 3 hits, and 1 run.
Then pulling a long reliever after 2 innings, 26 pitches, zero hits, zero runs.
In order to needlessly burn through 2 relievers to record 4 outs on a whopping 41 pitches and surrendering 4 runs.
Which in turn forced him to bring in the closer - with a day game tomorrow.
Unbelievably stupid managing on The Marmot's part.
Irish is right - The Marmot manages like it is T-ball.

Cookie cutter in the 6th-9th. Same guys every day. Just like with Whitey, Tony, MM, Shildt, and Oli.

And he does it again
The Marmot is unbelievably stupid.
Pulled a starting pitcher who was practically unhittable and on a low pitch count.
Needlessly blowing a 3 run lead and costing his starter a win.
No small wonder Gray wanted out of town.

[Alex Reyes Cy Young]

lllAwesome hit!!!

Pages is brutal st the plate.

Matheny's final year it was fantastic. DeWitt's mistake was thinking 3.5 million fans were locked in no matter what.

Actually 100. My bad.

5 games over .500 with a horrible BP and a -8 run differential -- and some people are obsessed with the managing.

Look in the mirror and only then will you know "unbelievably stupid."

To say that Oli blew the 3-run lead is bordering on moronic. No, it is moronic.

He made some good moves in the tenth. I’m not seeing any discussion on that anywhere

Correct.
I think Oli is below average but he was solid today.
Hindsight ALWAYS being 20/20 of course:
*If he leaves Libby in for the 7th and he basically does what Stanek did you STILL have the same scenario in the 8th with Romero!
*HR from Alvarez(the guy is a beast!)
*Single from Altuve(another big bat!)
*Tough BB 10 pitch AB from the cleanup hitter.
*Correct move at that point going to O’Brien and a bit of a tough break on where the ball landed.

The only move/non-move I questioned was not batting for Pages with someone(Saggese??) who might have been a better bunter after the Fermin double?
