cysball20-I'd be interested in your take on Joe's use of the bullpen last night in the 7-5 Phillies win. My take on Joe is that he does an overall good job as a manager, but his use of the bullpen leaves me scratching my head too many times (I've watched all but a few Dodger games this year). Last night Lowe had settled in after a rough first inning, and was pitching well in the 4th and 5th. Then Joe decides he'll lift him for a 20 year old rookie in the 6th (Lowe has said he was fine and his pitch count wasn't high). True Kershaw pitched well a few days ago in Philly, but he came in with the Dodgers behind 8-2, so not exactly a pressure situation. Joe uses up our 3 lefties in the middle innings so none were available for Stairs in the 8th. He also brings in Wade after he pitched 2 tough innings the night before. I thought Joe butchered the pitching decisions last night and likely cost us the game.
