Cohen and In-Game Strategy

[121Josey]

It's easy to remember the many blunders he has every year. But has he ever had an unconventional move pay off?

 

[msstate7]

I think it's more of we won even though he made moves. I like Cohen... I really do, but he's making this game way too complicated.

Choosing to throw Fitts as a starter for 3 innings then going pen worked pretty well in late 2013. That's all I got...

That's not "in-game".

 

[dawgface]

it reminded me of the "prevent defense" that backfired against fourcade.....and others

Ha what would you classify that as?

Filling out a line-up card. Damn, Cohen was a genius for bringing in Holder to close in 2013.**

I didn't say he was a genius. I was just asking what what you would call changing pitchers, since apparently it's not an in game move.

1. When you already know that you're going to take your pitcher out at X pitch-count or after X inning, it's not an "in-game" move. 2. I don't know how that is "unconventional" like I said in the OP. 3. Your an dubmass.

So it's not unconventional to start a pitcher that you plan on only using once through the lineup?

Exactly. Totally unconventional. Signed, Johnny Wholestaff

You're here trying to justify an in game substitution as non an in game move but I'm the "dubmass", which is pretty telling in itself.

I guess I missed Michael Smith's two errors in last night's game. That has to be the case for everyone to hate this move so much.

Johnny Wholestaff isn't most teams' #2 starter. And it's unconventional to start a guy who you hope can go 3 to get to a reliever who you hope can go the other 6.

Josey has certainly reinforced the fact that he is the worst poster on SPS. So far this morning, he's stated that using your relief pitcher in the 3rd inning is normal and also changing pitchers is not an "in game move". Apparently Cohen somehow had the game ended and then restarted a new one while changing pitchers.

Thanks for reading.

Really? The shutout didn't work out too well for us last night. I'd think a shootout suits us better
