Mike Matheny Appreciation Thread

[SKO]

I hope the Cardinals never fire this guy.

-Using Lance Lynn, who has been a total turd for a month, to give up a run in an inning of relief in game 2 and then trying to call it a "throw day"

-Siegrist vs Rizzo and Schwarber despite Siegrist's hilarious reverse split.

-400 year old mouthbreather starting on short rest.

-Pinch hitting Garcia twice in big moments (once for Randall Grichuk, who has stupid power) just because Garcia had been 3-3 vs Pedro Strop. Strop restored sanity to the world by actually taking the free out both times.

He's under contract for 2 more seasons. Let's bask in them.

Can we call him The Genius or has that been taken?

Interesting article on managers and their bullpen management. In the words, of the writer:

"The third thing to notice is Mike Matheny, whom BMAR says was actually worse at running his bullpen than a random number generator wearing a warm-up jacket. . . .If we believe BMAR, the Cardinals would have had better bullpen matchups this season had Matheny made his moves by closing his eyes, spinning around 10 times, and gesturing in the pen's general direction. (Maybe Matheny's new iPad will help.)"

I think Matheny had money on the Cubs last night. That's the only logical explanation.
