Bell does the same pitcher rotation, Cruz in the 8th and Diaz in the 9th. I think the whole league knows what going to happen and keeps players just in case. Should have left Cruz continue to pitch, can’t believe they had any more left handed batters left. It’s just poor baseball management.

Newsflash most if not all MLB teams operate with a set up man and closer when they have a lead late in a game. Cruz has been very good for the most part so i don't think anyone had a problem with him starting the 8th. This was a rare bad day and just couldn't get anyone out. You would leave him in even though he couldn't get anyone out? Good thing you're not the manager.
