With Encarnacion being their main threat that you have to game plan for, why did Ventura pull Crain (who's just about the best pitcher in baseball against righties)? Just like with Coco Crisp from Saturday, Ventura made Kelly Johnson the center of his managing strategy that inning. Just brutal by Ventura.
Guillen seemed to do the same thing maybe it is a cooper philosophy. When a team is not hitting thee bullpen is asked to do to much as it was tonight.
