I get it, I have watched every game this year like you. The comment on Bergmann was because someone said Susi looked tired and down 8-0 in the 5th inning why not put Bergmann in at catcher and give Susi a rest. This is year 4 of Hill hitting below the Mendoza line and it's not getting better. Although Moriority and Lambrechts averages aren't much better they are the future and they provide some pop. You are right about Moriority getting a lot of at bats which is why it is puzzling with 9 games to go in the year, Hill suddenly gets every start. I'm just saying he should have rotated them and given Moriority more time, especially when you could argue that his defense may be better.
Absolutely I think that's just it. It's almost to a fault. We can even take it over to the pitchers. To me there had to be more to it off the field that we are not aware of. We have seen him give guys like Rajkowski and Poulin numerous chances. Poulin has worked out, Rajkowski not so much. But then how does he explain a guy like Nepiarsky who continually got the job done when called upon but couldn't see meaningful action in games where we really could have used him. Zapata is another, kid was very good his Freshmen year but then these last 2 years just not given the chance to turn it around. 3.1 innings for the year going into today. Why does one guy get so many chances over another especially when the one has at least proved himself at one point. Penders is our coach, he has done amazing things, recruits well, I just question his loyalty over performance decisions. Maybe there's more behind the scenes, just not sure.
