Think he, like me, gets tired of the Chiefs continual F-ups. The loss to Indy was just too much. I suspect he is expecting Zach Martin on May 8 as well...At some point the camel's back breaks...
Anyway we post quite often on another Cardinal Board where I think he gives some very good insight...
His post on that board yesterday concerning Matheny's handling of pitchers in the 8th....

When you're talking about relievers, you can't just review outcomes, you have to review process and execution. Neshek, like it or not, executed fairly well. Seigrist executed extremely well.
And yes, on a lot of days you'd just as soon see Martinez get that call and get the 8th clean but here you had a righty and back to back lefties - why not give the ball to a guy that's hell on righties (Neshek) and a lefty that throws 98?
I don't think this is the norm for Matheny, but I love the fact that he actually made the call according to the circumstances and not just according to script. He handled the 8th absolutely perfectly today, IMO.
