Instead he treated it like a mop up situation because it was the seventh inning, as if that matters.

You have to get outs from pitchers who aren’t your top 5 to contend. As puzzling as Ventura’s moves can be at times, Hahn’s bullpen construction has left him with little room for error.

Couple that with 4 or 5 position players that can be easily replaced and you have to wonder about Hahn’s ability to judge talent.
