True that the game should have never started but he knew it was going to get shut back down quickly by just looking at any radar, and he still chose to put his starting pitcher in to burn him.
Maybe.
I see your point and would normally agree with you . . . but this kid is limited in his innings this year, and this may have extended his usage for another week later in the year before being shut down. It also adds to his resume/experience. Debut vs the Yankees, pitched in historic Fenway Park, threw the first inning in a racetrack. It may not mean much this year, but going into next year, there's not a lot that will intimidate him.
