There will be mistakes and things we don't take into account when it comes to decision making, and it's mental that people are going this crazy over decisions already, however, he did make some errors out there.
I don't blame him for taking Sale off. Perfectly fine decision. His issue was with Kelly and then Smith. He can't help that those two s*** the bed, and they should have been more then capable of shutting them down, but it was pretty clear early they weren't and Kimbrel should have at least been warming up. Come in, get us out of the 8th and then we can get somebody else in for the 9th.
JBJ didn't look like he was near getting a hit yesterday so I would have also pitch hit for him in the 9th to try and keep the inning going.
It's the way we lost which hurts. It's a long season and there's nothing to worry about yet, but it kind if feels like every game is going to count in the race with the Yanks, this year.
