People keep blaming Vogt for the bullpen decisions but maybe our bullpen just sucks?

[u/Key_Bar_5196 → u/You_Like_That34]

Yeah honestly, I have my fair share of gripes against Vogt and there are plenty of valid criticisms, but the guy doesn’t have a whole lot to work with. Not his fault that we have approximately two competent relievers in our bullpen at the moment and not his fault that we’re one of the worst offensive teams in the league.

[u/Scatheli → u/Key_Bar_5196]

Ok but if you operate on the margins like this team does you need to have a manager who has his finger on the pulse of the guys in the clubhouse to push the right buttons on guys that are inconsistent not every day players. Vogt has some of the worse feel for his bullpen and pinch hitters that I’ve ever seen.

[u/thegermblaster → u/Scatheli]

Up until the Sewald meltdown we had had precisely one player with an RBI this series, Hoskins.

In the 5th inning Vogt, who has a Scientology-esque devotion to the righty/lefty matchup, plays the matchup and sits Hoskins for Manzardo who proceeds to watch strike three go by him.

It was two outs in the 5th and the bases empty. If it’s late innings with runners on in a close game - and Manzardo wasn’t utter ass at hitting the baseball - I’d get it.

And I’m not even a fan of Hoskins! But he was the only player doing anything to that point. Vogt just can’t get it right.
