Yeah not bringing in Osuna in the 8th seems wise in hindsight. He didn't have two innings in him tonight and Grilli was fine. I would have just kept Biagini for the 8th myself though. He had established himself as being very on at that point and Grilli was a risk.
It did but once Liriano established himself and it became apparent Britton wasn't coming in, that shadow was completely lifted. Was a whole different game at that point and it felt very winnable. Doubly so when Ubaldo came in.
Yes and no... Some questionable decisions but nothing too egregious and in the end it all worked out. The one thing that did burn him twice was Martin batting ahead of Tulo but it doesn't really seem worth it to second guess anything at this point. He outmanaged Buck and that's what matters.
Martin took a lot of criticism tonight but the guy caught the whole game and worked well with the pitchers. Not his fault he was put in the wrong spot in the lineup.
Are you dense or what? It's not just about you and GD. This is about you insulting everyone who disagrees with you WHICH YOU'VE EXPLICITLY DONE IN THIS THREAD.
