Rizzo has by and large done an excellent job. Last night didn't validate him and it shouldn't have sealed his fate as a failure either if we had lost. He's put together teams good enough to compete to make and advance in the playoffs. It's up to the players to make the big hit, big pitch, etc. They aren't being asked to play over their heads. In the past, they simply didn't play to their abilities in the postseason as a whole. This postseason they have.
