When will this board realize we can't throw Kopech, Hendriks, and Kimbrel in every high leverage inning? in 162 game season you have to make some chances with your lesser bullpen guys in big spots.
Nothing to protect on a full count. If you don't swing at a ball, the runner gets to 2nd. What you're saying makes no sense. Jose swung at a bad pitch. It happens a lot. No big deal.
