This is really a minor quibble, though, and Brooks deserves 90% of the blame. He's been lights out this year, so I really can't fault Ned for throwing him out there for the end part of the angel's order with 1 out in the 7th.... obviously you may be correct in that he might not have been ready to pitch tonight. I didn't mind Bennett over Adams when he was first brought out... obviously hindsight is 20/20, but Bennett has been pitching very well, so it wasn't a problem for me at the time. I don't disagree that Kolb probably should have been used, as even I thought that maybe it'd be a good idea to bring him in after Bennett walked the two guys, but like you said, it wasn't going to happen, so again, I didn't really have a problem with it. The other two things that Ned handled very well was his leash on Oby- it was the right move to send him out for the 7th, but he also got him out of there at the right time as well. Also, bringing in Vizcaino when he did was a very good move, and that one obviously paid off. EDIT: Good night Peavey, BTW. I'll be better in the morning, I promise... crappy day + crappy game = ornery Bill. I hear ya... today was one of my worst days in recent memory, so I'm cranky as well.... adding in a Brewers loss in a game they should have won didn't help anything either.
