Nevin is a player's manager he knows Suarez will take to heart that even against outside pressure Nevin is sticking with him for at least another round and hope to get an Aztec warrior reaction from him. It's early in the season, not a do or die playoff game, I admire the man management strategy but I think Jose is not going to be as good as prior years. I remember a few years ago that he started to really slow down pitch by pitch and saw better results because of it. I think the pitch clock is harming him. He's a short fat guy with probably questionable athleticism/coordination. He needs to set his body and mind to get everything working. Otherwise he's walking 6 batters in 3 innings or giving up 5 bombs.
