well, when he wins his defenders say this is what we need, when he loses, nobody is allowed to question his decisions.
As soon as they win a series, they get all sunday lineup on us.
Did we need to see David Bote play SS to know we have a backup so they can deal Russell? yes.
Did we need to see that when Stella and happ are in the lineup and Heyward and Murphy are out? I dont think so.
I wonder if something is wrong with murphy, getting pulled for the double switch then not in the lineup for game 2 yesterday, but you can pace yourself with the rest so that not all of Heyward, Murphy and Baez are out of the lineup but God forbid he sit Rizzo when he is in a 2-40 drought.
Either way, to me, Epstein is a guy that wants to keep his foot on the pedal, get a stranglehold on this division and then worry about time off.
Yesterday was part of why I believe there is some truth to it. Maybe its not epstein, maybe its hoyer or ricketts.
