I don't begrudge CC anything. In my younger days, I used to question CC on numerous occasions. As I aged, had a kid and got married, I grew to understand: he's an extremely underrated and gifted manager and I'm just a dad who loves baseball. He plays the players on the roster. He has to manage egos, rest, volatility etc. When it's working, everyone loves him. When the team is scuffling, they are questioning the Deadline; the bullpen decisions; the lineup. Everything. I trust him inherently. It's up to the players to perform, imho. Hopefully he strikes the right chords here as the season nears its end to nudge them in the appropriate directions.
