It wasn't just the Stroman thing either...
Cecil facing Napoli (which worked out, but still)
Navarro being allowed to run while Pompey sits on the bench
Meanwhile, Francona is acing every test with his perfect usage of Miller through the playoffs and then, the cherry on top, reversing the Allen/Miller dynamic to get maximum innings from them while conserving the workhorse Miller. Gibby obviously isn't getting much to work with, to be fair, but you still have to goddamn play the cards you're dealt ffs. Down by two and letting your lefty face a lefty killer with a guy on is just a facepalm. October 17, not April 17.
