Terrible call by management.

Managing a baseball teams is 85% managing a bullpen. That's it. Some managers get more out of players than others, but for the most part, with the exception of crazy infield shifts that some managers employ more than others, it's managing pitchers. And 90%+ of them STINK at doing that. There is so much money invested in these players now that managers are scared out of their wits to let pitchers to past 100 pitches. It's insane compared to 20 years ago and further back. Myers had been perfect up until today but that was bound to change. It's idiotic to take a guy who is cruising out when he is not even to 100 pitches yet. How do you think Wandy feels? This has been the worst late bullpen stretch I can remember in recent baseball history, at least to open a season. BTW - Mills made ANOTHER mistake in the 12th taking Wright out when he was dealing. How's that righty/righty looking now? This will be just one of a LONG line of horrible pitching management decisions made this year. Just hope you're on the other end of some of them.
