Then you are committed to covering 9 innings with 6 pitchers. If any of them are off their game today, you are in big trouble. And if Dunning was ever going to be successful, it was as a SP not a RP. I have no problem with RR trying to let DD take a couple innings since he was aggressive and made the perfect call on when to pull the plug.

We still have a bullpen day now, but RR made an upside play with only moderate risk and played it well even though it didn't work out.

What we are seeing is exactly why RR was correct to try and steal a couple of innings with Dunning. If one or two reliever don't have it or gas quick, you are in real trouble.

Great day for relief pitchers to have some down Performances. Thanks Rick for putting rodon in you clueless moron!  The hell with cooper too!

If Grandal calls for more sliders instead of a fastball to a righty hitter, this inning is over.  There’s a reason his CERA is comically bad.

Ricky somehow overmanaged his way into losing the lead.

Seriously, what decision are people thinking they should have made differently? Letting Bummer pitch with 2 on and 1 out and he's already walked a guy and been hit hard? Leave Heuer in after he walked a guy and gave up a 2 run home run and was clearly gassed? Go to Cease instead of Rodon with the bases empty?
