I've asked this before but have never gotten an answer: How do we know Price doesn't decide when to make the pitching change?

THE inning here

Cozart grounds out. 4-4 mid 8th

He won't but he'll ask for number two money.

Mr. Hanky money?

Bochy was exceptional because the results went in his favor.

If the Reds had hung on to game three and not spoiled a great pitching performance by Homer Bailey, Bochy wouldn't have been in position to benefit from good fortune.

Bochy put his team in the best position possible for the results to go in his favor.

[Roy Tucker]

Quality AB by the PH. Lord save me.

That was horrible

Just because a batter swings at the first pitch or doesn't doesn't mean it was a good or bad at-bat.

I agree...but sometimes I wonder why you bother. *grin* Some things here will never change. Complaining about 1st pitch swinging is a top 5 chart-topper here. :O)

Then he's stupid for being inconsistent with his answer of why he took out Latos on 90 pitches and ZERO runs and then allows a more struggling pitcher to go near 110 pitches to try and get him a win.

That's a rather subjective opinion.

There is no magic formula as to what constitutes a good managerial decision or a bad one. Fans just pick and choose what they think is the "right time" to make a change, and thus somehow they treat it as gospel that if a manager doesn't follow their hunch, it was the "wrong" choice.

And then when it goes right, they don't give the manager credit. When it goes wrong, it's thereby proof that the manager was wrong.

It's circular logic at its worst.

I'm not sure that answers my question.

Navarro flies out to left

You know its posts like these that make the job of second guessing just that much harder.
