First up is Shelly, who writes over at Seamheads as well as having a presence at Switch Hitting Pitchers last season.t, Tigers manager Jim Leyland didn’t rave about Porcello and had plenty of encouraging things to say about Furbush, who walked three in two innings.
Knowing what to say about each player’s performance is part of the psychology of managing.
