    "This" being the game going further and further. Then use someone else instead of Feldman in the 10th instead of him.

    I'm not a part of the "Hinch Bashers" club. I just don't like using long relievers for one inning that's all.

    Nothing funnier than the hyper criticism of managerial moves during a long-ass extra inning game.

    Unless they change the rules of baseball, which was designed for 9 inning games only, there are always going to be major substitution issues in games such as this. (Maybe they should).

    Franconia has nobody left in the bullpen (or maybe one guy).

    Hyper criticism happens a lot here...especially recently.

    Hinch's BP management was good this game. Brought in the right guys in the right spots.

    Completely agree

    I'm not a bash Hinch all the time guy either

    But was dumb to use Feldman for one inning, in an extra inning game where you had already used Harris and Luke

    Hard to believe we only spent 10 million to develop a hovercraft. The budget should have been a lot more.

    Perhaps that was the plan, but it had to be altered because Feldman looked to have the sort of stuff that usually his him yielding a run (or two) in the early innings.

    Any manager is simply trying not to lose the game right then and there for these situations. They're not managing in expectation of a 14+ inning game.

    for those of you that miss NL ball this is a thowback classic, mid 2000s style. come on adam everett, hit a solo shot. adam would be batting 4th in this line up.
