Appearances
Yeah, so I think that that considering what they've gone through this year and that they're in a race and that they're around five hundred, you know, and he's got an underperformance from stars, uh I think that he's done a a pretty good job.
I mean, I
The he he didn't have a choice on how to manage his bullpen.
The only way he had to steal wins wherever he could get them.
And so the overuse of the bullpen is extraordinary.
Like I don't think I've ever seen anything like it where one team has four of the top 15 appearances uh uh for relievers on one staff, where the next team closest has two and everybody else
only has one of the top fit.
Like it's it's extraordinary, but he kind of had to do it because his starting pitching wasn't as good as he thought.
The injuries were there for it.
He got taxed on trying to do it.
They played so many close games 'cause the offense wasn't there.
So I understand what he did, you know, the in remember, after pitching another month, full month last year, uh, because of the playoffs, and then potentially, you know, uh
the impact of the wear and tear this year on next season, they're gonna have to really consider revamping the bullpen because good relievers this year who are overworked turn into
underperforming relievers next season.
And so but I think John Snyder's done what he's had to do by piecing things together uh when they were all coming apart.
I mean it it it shouldn't, uh you know, and it can, but at some point you think it's gonna be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Uh and at some point, you know, the the appearance I mean Flu Hardy's appeared in over seventy games now, uh with twenty-eight to go.
And and it's just it's extraordinary.
Uh and and so, you know, I think that that you know, fatigue can cause people
Now you can manage around it a little bit and in and you know not go back to back days and still you guys use guys a lot, but right now he can't afford not to use his best relievers, despite knowing that he probably can't afford to use them because they're gonna wear down.
