I'm not buying that. Cole could have stayed or you bring in Bass who only threw 17 pitches the previous day. Nobody can throw 2 days in a row? f*** that.
I guess he can't public say "you know, you're right - I misused Gavilio who's f***ing s*** and better suited for long relief/mop up duty. I won't make that mistake again" - but f*** me. You can't say you think he's a high leverage guy. I'd be temped to fire him and make Dante the f***ing manager after s*** like that.
