I don't think it is at all that cut and dry. Yes it is, he's gone. There is a reason they went after him. They will step back and evaluate that move and possibly look at mechanics, see how he fits into next year's roster and do what they want. I don't think he is gone based on 100 AB or on how he plays in his one NLCS start. Prior to this series that was a prevailing opinion. The front office will not decide what to do with based on how bad he has been tonight. They just won't. I am not saying he is coming back, I am simply saying that decision hasn't been made and is not a sure thing.
