Who else was going to pitch?
Not sure what your point is. Martinez used the guys he thought would do the job. If they had blown just 5 less saves the Nats would be in second place. But every team has issues and weak points. Martinez has to just hope they do better. He just needs to put the players in a position they are best suited for and not put relievers in high leverage situations they're not suited for.
Again, I really don't have a problem with what Martinez did yesterday. Harvey dominated the middle of the Padres lineup the night before. It just didn't work.
