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.
Sooner or later, you have to stop making excuses for Bell. This team is undisciplined and can’t do the basic stuff, like hit the other way to get a runner in from third. Walk people when new pitcher is brought in, in a close game.
They give away too many games by pulling a pitcher who is getting people out, only to bring in someone who can throw strikes or get anyone out.
I’m sick and tired of the way this team is managed and put together.
Bell has had his chance, it’s time to move on.
