Yep. You have to manage overuse and rust. Managing a bullpen is really the most complicated thing a manager does, and somehow has much as LaRussa can muck up the simplest things with his crazy double switches he's a master with the pen. Problem with the pen is you can't just say you are going to use so-and-so Tues and Thurs because you just don't know the situations.jagtrader wrote:Five of the eight relievers haven't pitched in a week, Wainwright is going Wednesday, followed by an off day.

I'd rather not take any chances tonight. Hopefully won't need Kmac tomorrow with Waino going.New Pagodi wrote:Why are we using McClellan here? He probably won't be available tomorrow. Wouldn't this be a good spot for Boggs or something?
edit: Not that he didn't do a good job.

I think it's safe to say La Russa has lost some faith in Boggs.

I don't even know what happened to make the board turn.
