I just don't get how Hinch could be so deft at handling the pen for three quarters of the year or whatever it was and then suddenly be so terrible at it. Of course I'd love to pin it on the FO but I just can't see the guys upstairs telling him that he has to get certain guys a certain amount of work.

Yeah, I've got no problem with Martes starting the inning, but he should have been gone after the 3rd batter. He hasn't yet learned how to shake off adversity. I suppose one could argue that now is as good a time as any to work on it since there really isn't much at risk right now, but I'd like to see them start to get back to that mindset they had earlier in the year when really seemed to think that nobody could beat them. Having relievers throw gasoline on everything doesn't help in that regard. Thank heaven for Musgrove.
