To me, criticizing fans for hindsight is reasonable only when a coach makes a REASONABLE move or decision and it doesn't work out. When you have a coach that is NOT making reasonable decisions THAT is when a coach is open for criticism. For example- not making any mound visits when JB was struggling and giving up runs after we took the lead. Or bunting down two runs in the seventh inning with a guy that leads the team in home runs.

Those are things that Henderson not only did today but CONSISTENTLY does and it has without a doubt in my mind cost us wins.

This isn't about hindsight- it's about playing the percentages and having the common sense to know that when a pitcher is getting knocked around you don't just leave them out there to rot or just hope for the best. Because hindsight says those things probably weren't going to work anyway to start with.
How about just putting your players in the best chance to succeed which ultimately is what a great head coach does. Henderson has demonstrated throughout this season either by lineup, by position, decisions on starting pitching and relief pitching and finally on when to take said pitchers out that he isn?t even an average coach. He?s cost us at least 6-7 games by his idiocy alone in all phases of the game. As I stated earlier, a fully focused Cann with no fooling around could have squeezed a 40 win season out of this team.
