GDT 5-31 - Happy Memorial Day ! Charlie on Hump and Almonte gets the call!

Chip is an idiot. Literally no one is saying to pitch these guys every day. But, guess what? Most of these guys haven’t pitched in a week. And that isn’t really a new occurrence this year. That’s unacceptable when there are high leverage situations you should be using them in.
 
As often as Acuña gets screwed on 3-2, Dansby Swanson wastes his 3-2 counts with bad takes or terrible chases out of the zone.

Chip isn't gonna throw Snit under the bus for anything. If anything he will blame AA for the team on the field.
 
It is quite possible the pitcher spot doesn’t even come up to bat again tonight, and Panda will not get a PA in a 2 run game. Meanwhile, he could have been guaranteed a PA with 2 men on base.

Snit clearly has no clue when to leverage pieces of the roster, and he needs to go.

If Smith does his job in the 9th, Panda didn’t get a PA in a 2 run game. Instead, Adrianza got a PA with 2 men on base. Does anyone with more than a dozen functioning brain cells prefer that to be the case?

Snit has proven beyond all doubt he is incapable of consistently getting the right players in position to help win ballgames. That’s a self induced headwind this roster may not be good enough to overcome this year.
