I guess that Rosenthal was unavailable because he'd warmed up five straight days.
Matheny has to get better control on his bullpen management, lest he turn into the Grim Reaper of arms, like Dusty Baker and Joe Torre.

Yeah, I'd have preferred he say "Rosenthal wasn't available because **** You, that's why."
Being used twice but being warmed up 5 straight !@#$ing days is just as stupid as using Boggs in his stead. Then later on he doubled down on stupid by trying to say "We held Boggs in reserve because the 9th is tough if you haven't done it before"...AS THOUGH BOGGS HAS ANY KIND OF TRACK RECORD OF ACTUALLY 'DOING IT' BEFORE.
Yeah, Matheny's never really been my favorite and I really rode his ass for his bullpen management last year. He's done
nothing to win me over in that regard.
His players may love playing for him, but that only lasts for as long as you're winning. If this team starts to lose, Mike Matheny's buddy/buddy shit and inept bullpen management starts to look Ned Yost in a godddamn hurry.
I still can't believe how last night went down and his justifications for same just makes things worse.
