Duvall shoulda been traded at the dead line. Even for a lottery ticket. That’d have more value.

Criticizing pulling Bello tonight is a hindsight criticism. He did look a little shaky and Winck really should be able to handle that.
But the amount of moves he makes in a game that are questioned before the result, because pass or fail they are nearly objectively the wrong moves, is his biggest problem. This team isn't good enough this year to cover the amount of games he costs them in a season.

Why are you pinch hitting Duran for Wong? And then pinch hitting for Refsnyder right after?
This is what I mean. This made no damn sense.

I don't give DOB many props, but I like him going off like that.

You hit Duran for Wong because he's leading off the inning and if he gets on, his speed is a weapon.
You hit Verdugo for Refsnyder, because of Refsnyder's L/R splits.
I think both moves made sense

I am not getting the warm and fuzzies right here with non-save situation Kenley,

Speaking for myself, I'm not upset he pulled him, you can make a good case for that. I'm just saying he's riding a streak of making moves that are not working. Bad luck? Bad mojo? Kike curse? who knows.
