I'm convinced MLB Managers are clueless

[Bettor Days]

We've all see it.
A pitcher is rolling along mowing down batters inning after inning.
The manager takes him out.

A Starting pitcher or reliever is getting rocked, and they leave him in too long until the damage is too much to overcome.

yes very weird how they run the operation especially in regards to pulling pitchers who are doing good

They go through so many pitchers with early relief and pitch counts these days. I will have to look up if it is still a 3 batter minimum or not. I don't like that rule. If you are a coach, you have your cap of players and should be able to play it how you want. I like the limiting of coaching/catcher visits though to speed up game.

I think some managers are pretty smart about knowing when to pull their pitchers. These are usually the teams making the playoffs. Sure a manager is going to appear to make a mistake by leaving a guy in and giving up a HR but for many of the better managers they "have a clue on what to do".

I think Dave Roberts (Dodgers) is a pretty good manager but he has made some dumba$$ mistakes.
Dusty Baker (Astros)
AJ Hinch (Detroit)
Cora (Red Sox)
Counsell (Brewers) - Just kidding. Wanted to get a rise out of Shortstop on that one.

It happened just today in the red Sox game

Left guys in walking and giving up hits until it was too late

i hate this thing where they are on a pitch count thing, sometimes you need common sense

Yes exactly you have to handle every situation differently.
There are human factors to consider not just mathematical.

What I don't like about MLB is the umpires and how the league allows them all to be so inconsistent and just make up their own strike zones game to game

Wager, Do you support electronic pitch calls?

Yes if fairness in sports can be perfected there's no reason not to pursue it

In my opinion
