Nope. No way.
The lineup shuffling is getting annoying to the players.
Over pitching Morrow.
Remains absolutely clueless with how to manage a bullpen.
Also, Pedro Strop anyone?
Your points makes sense but the shuffling thing was something Bernsie addressed in some weird way this week. He claimed the management i.e. Theo wanted to have the players on edge and always and they should just deal with shuffling like this. Seemed wrong to me or maybe I misunderstood him.
You burn people out when their work schedule shifts around too much. Idk how much I believe Bernsie, but even just coming in on Tuesday and you're batting 2nd then Wednesday you're batting 7th would get old really quick to me.
And that's just the lineup order...even worse are the guys like Schwarber, Happ, and Almora
who didn't know if they would even be playing.Do we know that's true? Or perhaps better said, do we know that's true more often than not?
I thought some time ago it was explained that Joe & Co. spend time putting together lineups a week or two at a time based on any number of things - matchups, scheduled rest, whatever else. Kind of like booking angles in pro wrestling ... but injuries and other circumstances can make obsolete those decisions and of course sometimes have to be changed in the immediate term - but that's any team in MLB though.
