But what about the timing and order of the relief pitchers ?
pulling Gio for Kendrick in the middle of your first rally and down 2 was not a genius move. albers is with the team to pitch the 6th so no great shakes there. going to Ollie for a matchup v. lefties, again, that's what he's there for. The rest was push button.
I'm not saying he managed poorly or well. He did the standard moves any manager. Matt Williams would have made the same moves. The difference between Williams last night and Dusty is Williams would have had the players feeling extra pressure because it was the win we absolutely needed. how that impacts the hitters I don't know.
