For me it's less about that and more about how he's managing who's available. The other day he doubled down on all his good pitchers which completely left us hanging for Roark's game. Thankfully both him and Waguespack pitched about as good as we could expect so it didn't matter, but there were about 2 guys available after them. Our good long arms aren't available because he piggybacked them, which is fine, but if you're going to burn an arm for 3 days by doing that let them face more than 6 hitters. Piggybacking Hatch/Kay and Thornton/Borucki combos burned 3 pen arms for 3 days, but neither game that pair got into the 6th so we had to burn all 4 of our good pen arms both days, which left us short on Tuesday(which I mentioned above) and they still weren't available last night which did cost us that time. It's one thing if you utilize the long man correctly so he gets you into the 7th or 8th in those spots to save the pen. It's another thing completely to burn them for 3 days to only get to 5 and have to burn the rest of the pen too and now you're screwed for a couple days. It would be less annoying if it happened because they were bad and had to be pulled but they've all be great and should have pitched longer.
Sunday Yamaguchi was the only guy available in extras because he only used his piggyback to go 5, then used all of Romano, Dolis, Bass, and Giles to get to extras. Moran too because Giles got hurt.
Monday he used Thornton, and Borucki to get 5 and a third(Cole got an inning in between), and the game went fine because we had enough runs that Romano, Dolis, and Bass could finish it, but he's using all his arms every chance he gets. If we go to extras Yamaguchi might have been the only guy available to pitch
Tuesday we only had Waguespack, Font, Yamaguchi, and Cole available, thankfully it's all we needed. If we went to extra then it would have also probably been Yamaguchi out of necessity as well
Last night only Romano, Bass, Dolis, Gaviglio, and Yamaguchi were available because of the mess above and it finally caught up to us
So that's 4 games in a row, where it seems the plan for any extra inning situation was probably Yamaguchi. Our luck twice it actually happened and we lost both games.
