My guess is that playing the numbers was the cool thing to do, until everyone started doing it. Maybe they need a Manager that can also go with his gut, as well as follow averages when it's fitting?
And last night was a perfect example of Bell not having a clue of how to manage, no "feel" for the game. He let the starter Spiers stay on the mound for 4.1 innings while getting curb stomped for 13 hits, 10 runs, including 5 HR's and like 3 or 4 other extra base hits. Any real manager would have jerked him in half the time Bell did. It was clear to see it wasn't his night.
But I'm sure the computer model said 3 of the next 5 batters are LH or whatever?? So lets ride with him. Or some stupid stats crap!!
Please let this be Bell's last season.
