Paul Zeise's mailbag: Why is Clint Hurdle getting a free pass?

Welcome to Paul Zeise’s weekly mailbag, where the Post-Gazette columnist and 93.7 The Fan radio host answers your questions about sports, life and everything in between. If you want to ask Paul a question, tweet him @paulzeise or email him at pzeise@post-gazette.com. This feature will run each Wednesday, so you have a whole week to submit questions.

Let’s get started:

Matt Browne, Murrysville: Why are Mike Sullivan and Mike Tomlin measured by their wins and losses, yet Clint Hurdle is generally given a free pass?

Zeise: I don’t know what “free pass” means because Clint Hurdle is criticized for his moves — or lack of moves.
