An idiot could do better.

I’d fire the manager of the Chicago Cubs. Dale Sveum. For managing the Cubs stupidly. For using the wrong relief pitchers at the wrong times.  He puts far too much faith in inept pitchers. When there are better ones available. On the current roster. I’d sit the bad ones. And gamble with overworking the good ones. Apparently, Sveum wants to spread the workload. The Cubs could have a decent record. If only Sveum knew how to manage the relief corps.  The Cubs have blown 10 of 20 save opportunities.  Mostly because of Sveum’s inept decisions. I could do better. And I’m an idiot. What does that make Sveum? –Jim Broede
