while i'll agree that jenks or hermie should be in for the ninth, i can see why ozzie did it. marte has been scuffling and he needs confidence booster to get his head straight. what better way than saying heres the ball in a 1-run game. save it for me. granted he failed this test but as soon as he got in trouble ozzie pulled him. a manager can do that when he has a fairly safe lead. i i dont disagree with ozzie's decision but i can see why people would be upset. but we need to cut ozzie slack. people want to b**** about his managerial skills all the time, but then we say we have no hitting. but yet we still have the best winning percentage in baseball. sounds to me like he knows what hes doing. just saying.
