Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 3312784, member: 2500"] Hinch wasn't going to use Cole until 8th or 9th anyways and it had to be with a lead and with him starting a clean inning. Unfortunately, by the time it got to that point of the game, it was too late. I can't blame Hinch too much for using Harris and Osuna. Those two have been his best pen options. I'd criticize him for taking out Grienke at 80 pitches, if anything. He gave up a solo HR to a guy who will be in top 3 NL MVP votes. Not that big a deal. The walk was pitching carefully to Soto, or so it seemed to me. He didn't look gassed, but I don't know what his third time thru lineup numbers look like, so hard to even criticize that. Regardless, you have to score more than 2 runs. Especially when you pretty much know what Corbin is going to throw. [/QUOTE]
