Beat writers are very reluctant to criticize the manager for obvious reasons, but while Peter A. went on record agreeing with the move, he did mention how widespread the second guessing has been. If the second guessing had no foundation, Peter A. would not have mentioned it. Very clever by Peter A.
As for the "winning the game now" argument, a manager should always look ahead and take into consideration the consequences of a move later in the game. For example, you don't pinch hit for both catchers. That's an easy one. Tito didn't play the percentages with the pinch running move. Since Sutton is not a base stealer, he should have waited to see if AGon had advanced to second or third with less than 2 out.
