I agree that generally Hurdle manages the pen pretty well (as long as Jose Ascanio isn't waved in), and Jose Veras had an off night; it happens.<br /><br />And I do credit him with the starters going deeper this year; he gives them enough rope. But Maholm was struggling, and he didn't have much that night.<br /><br />I admit that it's backseat driving from a TV coach, but I thought he was spent after the walk. Hurdle didn't, and he's who counts.<br /><br />But that's just one game. Overall, he's been really professional in handling the pitching, and it shows. <br /><br />The starters are going deeper, and I really like how he uses a mix of guys to set up Hanny instead of playing it by rote. Hurdle does a good job of rotating guys too, so that he doesn't get caught short very often. <br /><br />I'm quibbling about one game, not his body of work.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-33087373700046361872011-06-05T22:24:12.086-04:002011-06-05T22:24:12.086-04:00I think you need to give some (most) of the blame ...I think you need to give some (most) of the blame to the pen.<br /><br />hard to say he mismanaged recently with the pen, and pulling the SP, which he seems to have timed pretty well (not yanking them early).Stress Relief Libraryhttp://stressrelieflibrary.fastprofitpages.com/?id=jdmnet30noreply@blogger.com
