Yup, this can't be all on Reed. Robin has to be able to put his players in a position to succeed, like all managers, he managed that 9th inning so poorly, I don't even have words to describe it.
I don't agree, but whatever. We could go around and around. I agreed with Humber getting the 9th. It was 7-2. He needed 3 frickin' outs against the Seattle Mariner offense. Not the toughest task in the world. Veal has been pretty good, oh well. He didn't get his man out. If he had, we wouldn't be having this discussion. And Reed is the closer. Tonight he didn't close very well, did he? He needed two outs. And he walked Ryan....wtf??? It's so easy to rag on a manager when the relievers can't get three guys out.
