So, in the 8th before the grand slam he double switched Heyward out of the game. Why would you pull your best defensive player out of the game? It was a 1 run game at that point and I was perplexed as could be. Is Heyward hurt?
 
Matheny took over in the 8th inning. Very strange sequence of events

He pulled Edwards too late. Let Edwards throw 1 pitch then pulled him. Heyward was pulled due to a double switch....however, I'm not pulling Heyward given the situation at hand. I would have pulled Zobrist and put in Almora/Happ/Martin.

With all that said, Joe's moves were worthless anyways given that Stras was unhittable

My immediate thought when he pulled Heyward and left Zobrist in was, "what the hell is he doing?", but I didn't know if there was something going on that I wasn't aware of. It didn't matter since Davis served up the tater, but can you imagine if that ball hadn't gone in the basket and Happ doesn't make the play on it while Heyward is sitting on the bench?
 
Happs read was awfullllllllllllllll. Then lost his footing on the soggy warning track

It was a recipe for disaster. Probably had something to do with all that mold

That was literally one of the strangest press conference comments I've ever heard. So awful I couldn't tell if he was being serious or not.
Dusty is just.......well......Dusty

I wish I could say I have fond memories of him from my early teen years, but yeahhhhhhhhh

Pretty sure he was one or two spots from Matheneging in that poll of managers Ducky posted. Well earned. I know this, I'd rather have MM. But sorta like this last election.
