so, if Fredi puts the worst reliever in the pen into the most challenging relief situation of the game, and he gives up a run, he just "didn't do his job" and it's not Fredi's fault?
Go back and read my post. The "decision" I'm talking about is who/whether to pinch hit with a lead. Who/whether to make a defensive replacement. Bringing in a bad pitcher in a tough spot when you have a better option would absolutely be on fredi. Which is why I questioned one such move in the San Fran series. Fredi's issue is he doesn't have any choice when it comes to the pen. Other than grilli they all suck and are inconsistent. So take your hypothetical bull shit that has nothing to do with what I was talking about somewhere else.
