It has to be just me. I'm not trying to be "smart" or negative; just level-headed.
How much different is the team makeup, performance, and the gameday decisions from what folks expected it to be?
Wising it was is another matter. I'm talking about expectations. I don't see much difference at all. If anything, the results- other than the historical one-off routing- are a little better, aren't they?

Yeah, but we can't bench them all.
Surg,
If you don't set Reynolds down they will still lose games. Hopefully, he will break out after sitting out a series and become the best player on the team.

The Pirates have only had 7 hits in the past 2 games and Reynolds has 2 of them. He had a nice line drive hit to RF today. Those are good signs. I wouldn't sit him when he looks like he might be coming out of it.

Is he being fooled on pitches?
If yes, sit him.
If no, he's in my lineup.
Reynolds is the Pirates. If he's not, then tell me who is.

You’re desperate to win a game against this Brewers team who has beaten you 5 straight games this season so far and putting in Stratton over Bednar to try and get the save was not the way to go. Derek Shelton is a bad manager that’s all there is to it. I don’t want him anywhere near this team in the next several years when these young guys are ready to come up. He is a tone deaf manager who is in way over his head.
Shelton probably wanted both guys available for tomorrow night. If Bednar and Stratton were of equal ability , you could see what he did. Hardly the case as a total moron can see one is just a guy and the other is elite. He is really over managing and pulling his starter after 75 pitches was also lame.

Shelton is grossly overmanaging and his moves don't even make sense. If he was concerned about the availability of relievers for the next game, why pull the dominating Quintana after 5 innings, 78 pitches and use up Yajure for 1.2 innings? After allowing the first pitch HR to Cutch, Quintana allowed only 3 singles with no walks and 9 strikeouts. After Cutch, no batter reached 2B. He could have let Quintana continue to dominate and saved Yajure for another day. Shelton has always shown a disregard for performance. A good day at the plate for a hitter is usually a precursor to a day on the bench. A strong outing by a pitcher means a quick hook. Shelton seems to make up his mind about how he wants to he manage the game before it starts and sticks to a plan regardless of how the players are performing. He can't seem to take his finger off all his managerial buttons and just let the players play.

What is a big deal anymore?
Announcers and Shelton. That's the list right there.

That's correct. You win a cookie. And here's Joe Block to tell you all about it.

{{{Sigh.}}}NWWL.
We aren't hitting. We aren't scoring. We pitch well occasionally. But, none are any big deals.
BOB's gotta love it.
And, I'm not miserable. Why not?
Because they're no big deals! ;D
