Last nights game was a microcosm of a good part of the entire year.

Good hitting. Decent starting pitching.

Bad management from the dugout. Really bad.

Deplorable fielding decisions/execution.

Bad play from the bull pen.

Matheney has to play the guys who are producing (defense too) and give the old standby guys something to think about on the bench more often. There are so many of these players that he can't do it on the same night, but he needs to do something to wake this team up. Shake this team up.

He has nothing to lose, imo. Shake it up and see if they can at the very least get the basics right.

And while he is at all of this, he needs to look in the forkin mirror.
