Overall, he's been using the bullpen well, the bench well, pinch hitting correctly, working the matchups, and making overall good decisions. I haven't really had a problem with his managing, as of late. However, bunting last night was one of the riskiest plays possible, not to mention it was with one of the players least likely to be successful at attempting to execute it. All I want from Lou is for him to put players in situations where they are most likely to succeed. A suicide squeeze, in the bottom of the 9th, with the bases loaded, 1 out, and Mike Fontenot at the plate is NOT that.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yep, I haven't had any major problems with the way Lou has been managing since the AS break. Then again, our players are finally performing the way they should (except Fontenot), so that always helps.
