But it's all results based after the fact. Most of these decisions are complete toss ups and can go either way without a clear cut right/wrong. Just saying trying to remember that would probably ease a lot of tension.

 

I apologize for generally coming off too positive or just trust the manager. I guess I'm a little burned from being forced to watch the Badger game (overlapping with the Pit shutout Sat night) with a super negative guy. It was painful to listen to. Everything is this person sucks or the coaches are an idiot, hornibrook is god awful etc. Acted like the Brewers are in mid collapse and I barely know the guy so after one time reminding him they've lost one series in like 2.5 months I just bit my tongue.

Some of these "hot takes" need to be said before the result happens...

 

You know what's funny. If he puts in Cedeno and Cedono gives up the hit (like Jennings did so many times) a chunk of posters would be ripping it saying Peralta was rolling well, why not just let him go. Of course not saying the same folks would've said it, but CC can't win with everybody unless he learns how to magically predict which reliever is gonna give up hits on a given day

 

I disagree.

 

Based on how the game was started, it would have made total sense to stick with it, and not allow Carp to face a righty.

 

For whatever reason, that plan was abandoned, and the decision made failed.

 

Had Peralta gotten him out, you may be right, no one would have said a thing, but he didn't, and this is what we have.

Can y’all stop with the constant Counsell bickering about what people said or would have said after certain situations? It’s like game 156. We get it, we know what people are going to say...it’s not changing. We all have different opinions on different management decisions. 3 innings later in a big spot...let’s talk about something else.

That's the point though. It wasn't a coin toss to start Jennings tonight. It was a decision based on analytics that said you need to start Carpenter with a lefty. Did that same data say it was OK to have Carpenter face a righty with a man on in the third? I doubt it. That lack of consistency is what is being questioned. CC is a fine manager, but this was weird.

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

At least we don't have to look at Brault's terrible tat job, however, I wouldn't mind facing him in this situation...
