I give him credit for being very, very patient. He lost a lot of regular season games by giving pitchers an extra day of rest here n' there. He managed this team as if he knew it was gunna win the division. He managed his pitching staff so they would have something for the playoffs. After Manny got here, we won the final 2 games(SAT. n' SUN.) of a 4 game series against the D'BACKS. Then we went to St. Louis on Tuesday. That guy refused to put anybody good in late in that game to try to win it. He just gave that game away. He refused to use either Broxton or Kuo. This is with like 48 hours rest, and 72 hours rest. He managed this team for October. I don't know how he knew the D'BACKS were gunna struggle. It's as if he didn't want to make the post unless he had the pitching a certain way(something left.)
