    Sitting Dansby after the best game of his career and playing Camargo vs a RHP?

    Pretty dumb, but he hasn't been off a full game all year. Still, really odd with a string of off days coming up.

    Maybe Dansby strained his Stroman swinging so huge yesterday.

    I’m worried he won’t be able to perform since he’s not relegated to the 8 hole.
    Although I think Acuna feeds off of the good vibes of his BFF giving him protection and breaks out of his mini slump in a big way.

    Not calling you out specifically, but this illustrates the can’t win nature of being a manager.

    Two weeks ago the whole board was on Snit for not resting his players more and now he’s being criticized for resting someone with a sore quadricep.

    I just don’t get the Snit hate. At all.

    He’s been a perfectly willing soldier for our analytics department. The players LOVE him and he’s perfectly serviceable as a tactical manager.

    I think the criticism was more directed at the fact that he was refusing to rest our older veteran players in spots where it was obvious to do so. We have a couple guys on the bench who mash lefties and he was refusing to sit Markakis against LHPs, even just occasionally. He caved once earlier this week I think, but that quote from him about resting those guys was ridiculous.

    I love Snit. I think a manager's most important role is managing the clubhouse and fostering an atmosphere where his players can succeed. In that regard, he might be the best manager in baseball. But his lineup construction and his approach to platoons/player rest leaves a lot to be desired. Ultimately its not that big of a deal, but I do think it costs us unnecessarily sometimes.

    Overall, no disagreement here.

    I’m less worried about resting Markakis (only because I wish he was in a platoon).

    The player I wish we rested more is Donaldson. We can afford Nick falling off a cliff and replacing him with a Duvall/Joyce platoon. We need Donaldson.

    If he rested his regulars more maybe they wouldn’t develop sore quads?

    This roster was set up with depth specifically to rest regulars regularly. It’s not really complicated at all...

    There’s a reason guys started getting benched the day after Snit made those stupid comments. That reason is that he was making stupid decisions and the FO corrected him.

    The other night he had a lefty face Franco. He pays attention to stuff like reverse splits.

    The problem with resting Markakis right now is that we have two guys who play OF that should never play right field. That leaves you with either Joyce who is also lefty, or Culberson, who probably shouldn't play RF either. I do agree he should be moved out of the 5th spot against lefties tho.

    You are so right. I can’t believe how correct you are.

    I hope no one else on this board had the idea that our manager should rest his players more consistently, so you can get all the credit for how great of an idea it was.
