This is the most upset I've ever been after a win where someone didn't get hurt. Just a complete managerial meltdown and some stuff was uncovered that gives me zero confidence in the way this team is managed. Mickey Callaway's and Brodie Van Wagenan's commitment to ONLY use Edwin Diaz to close game, to get 3 outs at the end of the game, is beyond infuriating. I understand, I guess, if for his health you don't want him to cross-over between innings, but then why not use him in the toughest situation or to get the most important outs of the game? If your so-called "set-up guy" loads the bases in a 1-run game in the 8th inning, wouldn't you want to use your best pitcher to get out of that situation? Why do you HAVE TO save him for the 9th, why does he HAVE to finish the game and he CANNOT pitch in any other situation? Why can't he pitch and just get that one really important out when you need him to in the 8th, and use someone else for the 9th? What if you have the 3 toughest batters in the lineup due up in the 8th? Why wouldn't you rather use your better pitcher there? It is completely insane and such a close-minded way to manage a bullpen. He said they're committed to him never getting more than 3 outs, which I don't really agree with, because any reliever should be able to do that once in a while, instead of saying it will NEVER happen. But even that fact accepted, you can still use Diaz where he doesn't cross over between innings and he doesn't have to pitch the 9th! If it makes sense for him to pitch the 8th, they're saying he shouldn't do it because he has to pitch the 9th because reasons (obviously, they're managing to get him a Save, which is a stupid statistic anyway). It should be simple. Use your best reliever in the toughest spot, or to get the most important outs of the game, when it's clear they will be the most important outs (and it should be obvious if its the 8th inning). That's it. --- ~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion 2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS <cite>WiggumFan267 posted [p:920566906] in 2019 Baseb...
