Unless there was something we didn't know, he inexplicably (to me) yanked early two of the league's best starters who were on cruise control. And his handling of Chapman was horrible, who the hell uses a closer for multiple innings with a five run lead? And although as it turned out Chapman pitched a gutsy 9th last night, after getting lit up like a pinball machine he should have been out of there.
