Past performance does not predict future results. Defense will stipulate that McKendrick ordered the men not to touch the victim if the government will stipulate no other member of Rifle Platoon Company Windward was in Dawson and Downey's room 5 minutes after the platoon meeting. I think RR is stuck a little by where we are at in the season. He shuffled things right after the break, and then Yuni and McGhee heated up. Now that they have somewhat re-established themselves, it would be very hard to lay both of them back off. Yes, they are pros, and they understand it's a business. I've seen people get laid off and then their depart gets pretty salty for a few days. Do they still do their job? Yes. Is the effort the same as before? No. I'm with pebadger on this (not a popular opinion I notice). We have our spreadsheets of info indicating that taking a different course. RR has spent most waking moments around these guys since February. If anybody here has been in the clubhouse this year without the media present, I'll be happy to hear from you. RR has, and he made the managerial decision to go this way. I don't think it makes sense to go with 13 MLB at bats even with the impressive minor league stats, in all situations. Prince started off 0-11 his first full year, and some in here were ready to jump. Unlike Yost and Macha, I haven't had a moment this year where I thought a decision was completely bonheaded (like yelling at Cappy on the mound, or basically sleeping through 2 years as a manager).
