He brought in Loe when we were already down 7-1 going against a really good pitcher. I could careless what the matchups were; Loe has the potential to go a couple innings. Again he was put in the 5th inning of a game we were getting blasted in; who cares if he has to face a lefty? As long as he isn't being asked to get lefties out in competitve games I don't really care.

We need to treat these games like playoff games or at least very nearly. Loe sucks especially against lefties, in that situation you have to reevaluate the game and make it your goal to limit the Nats to 7 total runs. Allowing Loe to face 2 straight lefties does not further that goal. It serves the goal of simply ending the game.

 

It doesnt matter if Loe can go a couple innings if he gives up 2 runs doing so.

We all know they weren't winning that game once that 6 spot was put up. To pick apart the fact that Loe was left in against lefties is pointless.

 

I get where you are going with treating these games like playoff games, but there wasn't much he could do there. He is bad a managing the pen, but we are grasping for straws trying to beat on RR for having Loe in there in that situation.
