Managing the bullpen is probably the toughest job a manager has, especially in the NL. At least 25x a year a manager is going to get called out for mismanagement of the bullpen. With that said, there have got to be some cracks in the armor surrounding CC from the way Sterns is looking at this as if CC is the guy that can lead this team to the next level. There have a been a few really bad ones this year, but tonight is a real head scratcher on what he was thinking. No reason in a 1 run game that Hader, Jeffress, and Burnes are all sitting on the bench the whole night in a game that is basically a playoff game. Teams don't always let on when players are unavailable for various reasons, but if all those guys are unavailable the day after a day off-well, then I guess we should just start looking at next year.
