Hudson's not running into something to tie the game there, which is what you need, as you're probably not getting 3 consecutive hits. Those other 3 have a chance. You don't let another AAA player make your last out.

I have more problem with tonight, where we ran out two AAA relievers in big games (Septimo and Omogrosso), then the use of Liriano the day before. Neither of Septimo/Omogrosso have shown me much anything. On the flip side, Liriano is a proven starter with good stuff and past success. Albeit, he's clearly in a funk right now and has lost a lot of money over these past couple of weeks.

If you use Liriano in a 3-2 game in the 8th on Tuesday you come back with him yesterday. Either you have a plan or you don't. I am starting to think they are making things up as they go along. This goes for the line-up, pinch hitting and the bullpen usage.

 

Using the AAA pitchers to then go to the veterans is asinine.

They couldn't pitch Liriano because he's going to have to start on Friday now after wasting Santiago yesterday.

Of course they are making things up as they go along...and that does happen in big series or big games...I don't have a problem with it....but what they don't appear to have is any appreciation for data or any appreciation for when the game is on the line and when it is not.
