@KDKARadio How about using proper English language.

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@ChrisMuellerPGH
How is Mangum and his .465 average on the bench tonight?!? O’Hearn !?
The password is batting .126 over his past 10 games???

#Kellystinks

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@DTonPirates Indeed …
Explain to me why Mangum and his .465 average and O’Hearn are on the bench tonight.

Please explain this !??

Meanwhile, not only did Don Kelly not use Carmen Mlodzinski in a close game, there was Evan Sisk available as well. He has been lights out and has a 1.44 ERA. He's only pitched 3 innings since May 19th.

Again Don Kelly has no clue how to manage a bullpen.

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@Jason_Shetler But - if Kelly would be more concise with his bullpen decisions and likely pulling pitchers faster then perhaps their confidence is more context and not as pressed in each leveraged situation. Setting them for failure. All part of savant managing

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@SNPittsburgh A good and seasoned manager figures out a better way to handle the pen and starting lineups. When we lose so many winnable and close games it makes the difference.

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@SNPittsburgh He isn’t ready to be the skipper, needed a stronger in game manager.

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@SNPittsburgh He is not good

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@ChrisMuellerPGH

Montgomery should’ve been out after the run. Who cares if you burn an arm early

Now it’s too late. Didn’t play to win.
They played for tomorrow.

“The story” of Don Kelly managing decisions and woes.

Lineups are always some plan for for something else

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@Mikey5Aces Kelly is not good

[Mikey Aces @Mikey5Aces]

Don Kelly here's an idea:

Maybe if your Ace is struggling to go 5 innings & you need your bullpen to eat innings, why not use your long relief guy Carmen Mlodzinski who hasn't pitched in over a week? Who cares about tomorrow & the Jones start, he was sent to the pen for a reason

Losers

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@AGretz @DOMISMONEY Kelly can’t mange this pen.

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@JoeStarkey1 Kelly with bizarre starting lineup.
No O’Hearn or Mangum.
Password to AAA.
Where is Carmen !?!

[Dan Zangrilli @DanZangrilli]

That’s loss No. 5 on the year when leading after 6 innings.

Loss No. 4 when leading after 7 innings.

13 blown saves…

…for those keeping track at home.

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@DanZangrilli Half of those loses could have been prevented by better bullpen selections and sequencing by Kelly. I blame him for 5 losses this year

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@SNPittsburgh You guys will frame this as a “positive”.. would be so nice to just call folks out -

[Danny Mayer @mcgregorpub]

@DTonPirates But why not start mangum- batting .400 over his past 10 games?
Kelly needs to lock games down earlier with the best arms in the pen. Always waiting
