I don't really get why you have to take him out once he gets a base runner. Just so he can't get a loss? It's an infield hit. Sheets is still the best pitching option right now.

I agree.

For those who shrug their shoulders when I complain about "formula managing", this is what I'm talking about.

 

No book can tell you how to handle this situation, because the book doesn't know how well Sheets has pitched in this game.

 

If the intention was to take him out after one runner got on with a cheap infield hit, then Turnbow should have started the ninth.

I don't get why this is such a common move by managers. I can't think of a single closer who would prefer to start an outing with runners already on base in the ninth. You get in a rhythm as a closer, and something like this is anti-rhythm for most of these guys.

 

I just don't get it. Win, lose, or extras, it's a bad move IMNSHO.
