I don't like how reluctant Wak seems to be to swap batters in & out.  We saw this last year, the Tui freezeout to start the season, his lack of leveraging platoon sitautions.  So far in this extremely short time, we haven't seen anything to suggest that he'll change his approach, given a more powerful and versatile bench.
I agree it's good to keep rolling Bradley out there, to keep Kotchman at 1st for his defense, etc.
But if I had my rathers I would have seen Sweeney PH late in that game, or Tui for Lopez, or Langerhans...  someone who can jack one in a 1-1 game.  Come inning 7 or so, I figure, well the regulars have had there shot to do SOMETHING.  Pinch hitting for one of those guys isn't a slight to them, it's just, let's let have someone else have a crack at making something happen and get everyone involved,
But it's early, we'll see how it goes.  Good people management and winning games trumps any pecadillos I perceive in Wak's substitutions or lack thereof.
