Is this worse than Nestor? It’s definitely not quite as bad as telling the team the wrong start time for a playoff game.

No, Nestor was the worst managerial decision I’ve ever seen from a Yankees manager

Dude hadn't pitched in over a month after injury. Literally first pitch went to low inside against Freddie "I bang low inside pitches on the bed, countertop, and fridge" Freeman

This was just kinda dumb and it happened to backfire perfectly. Nestor was one of the dumbest decisions I've ever seen a manager make.
