I don't believe the coach looks for opportunities to use people. He just

makes the move he thinks is right for that moment. You have seen the use of PH, late inning fielding replacements, even some bullpen opportunities go way down since conference play has started (even with midweek games). He has had lots of low-risk opportunities to work more people into games and he doesn't seem to value that. And I am sure the players see that in his style too. When Rohs, Mizzelle and Castine weren't hitting their best, they were regularly pinch hit for. But, we have some other players who are slumping in conference play and they are never PH for. Don't know why.

Would be good to find opportunities in the last 7 games to give some ABs
