On the flip side though, are we going to give Macha a pass based on the fact that he isn't Ned Yost? I mean very few people pulled punches when it came criticizing Yost, but now we can't second guess a Macha decision because the team is 25-15? To me, it seems Macha recognized the correct move, but purposely went against it to keep a promise to a player. I don't agree with it, at all. However, I do like Macha and he is doing a great job this season and the team is really playing great for him, but I don't agree with your sentiment that "This second guessing is bullcrap". It's only second guessing right now because it already happened, I am sure there are many fans (Including myself) who were scratching their heads when Hall stepped in the box. It was a bad move in many peoples opinion and will be dissected. With the good comes the bad.
