For all the heat the Ol’ Rancher has taken for not giving young/small players a chance, you have to admit that there’s a massive amount of method behind the madness. Call a young local kid up while the team is in disarray and the fans are going nuts? Not very fair to the call up. Bring him in when we’ve won 4 of 5 and you’re heading out of town? Far more likely to succeed and far less pressure. In Sutter we still trust.
