There are times when I do question Baldellis moves. The pitching side I believe is pre-determined before each game by Falvinelli. It's his bench moves that gets me. At least 6 or 7 times this year he's done the Garlick for Larnach substitution around the 6th or 7th inning. Garlick starts vs lefties Larnach vs righties. No issue there. But as soon as Garlick or Larnach are announced the opposing manager Immediately counters that move with a pitching substitution that negates any advantage the metrics show. With the bench already thinned out you lose any advantage you might gain with a ph later in games. Other times he subs in the whole bench en masse on days where Buxton is not under any circumstances available. That and maybe some occasional small ball just to mix things up.
