I'm not opposed to letting a pitcher try and finish a game, even if it ups their pitch count. Bell did allow Greene to go out for the 8th. It was clear he was gassed when the walks started. I think Bell properly managed this one. He gave Greene his chance and then acted when it appeared Greene didn't have anything left.
It might have been advantageous to let a different pitcher start the the 8th but I'm not criticizing Bell for what he did.
