I don't mean to generalize it.
But I see some stupid pitching changes very often these days.
Look at the Reds game, for example.
Bailey gives up hits and walks every single innng.
And again at the top of the sixth, he's doing it all over again. Giving up hits and walks.
And leaving him on the mound? The manager finally changes the pitcher when the bases are loaded.
Why? Why not changing the pitcher when the top of the sixth starts?
Why giving an extra pressure to his relievers and ruining the game.
This is something I really don't understand.

Pretty easy to make that call after the fact.

Yes, but the trend was pretty clear from the 2nd inning on. Baker should have seen that and taken homer out after the 5th to protect the 1-run lead. Now the reds blew it with bases loaded.

these managers are retarded. greinke is throwing a shutout and they throw in axford to close the game out

aka to lose the game
