Over managing

[Duck_walk]

I haven't criticized the manager once in 40 games. But tonight, Big City had four RBI in the first four innings and then got yanked in a double switch. Presumably to allow Lyons to be moved into his slot in the lineup. This is just over managing. Let the kid play. We were up four runs. Adams was having a great night and u only let him play four innings?? It won't kill you to let Lyons bat. You don't have to be "cute" with every move. David Bell, help!!!!

Just to play devil's advocate here...I wonder if he thought it might be a good time to get him out of there to "end his night on a high note?" He had some solid at bats early so maybe the thought was to get him out of there with his confidence high so it carries over. Not necessarily disagreeing with anything you said, but just trying to look at it from another perspective.
