We differ in opinion, and that is just the way it is. He had held one of the best offensive teams to 2 runs through 5 innings, imo, his job was done. He was about to face some bigtime hitters for the 3rd time in the same game. A recipe for disaster considering this is his first big league start. Ok, so he lets him come out for the 6th, gives up a HR, maybe that is the first clue, and maybe THAT is the time to react. Nope, leaves him in. Gives up his 2nd HR, back to back. Maybe THAT is the time to make a move. Tie game, first big league start, let the regulars blow the lead, no harm no foul. Nope, he leaves him in to give up his 3rd HR, back, to back to back. Inexcusable as a manager. There really is no way to excuse his poor decision making, and it happens daily. You have to understand when to handle a situation, especially a rookie against that line-up, the third time through. It is textbook rookie in his first start stuff. Big league hitters, third time through can figure a rookie out. If Dillard comes in and blows it, so be it. We have seen that before often enough...
