The defense was awful tonight, but Matheny absolutely butchered the top of the sixth and the bottom of the 7th.
Even though Kelly got a sac fly w/ runners on second and third, you cannot keep him in in that situation. Best scoring opportunity of the game w/ expanded rosters and he keeps his fifth starter in.
And leaving Kelly, who had gone to a three ball count to two straight hitters and was obviously floundering, in to face Gennett when Choate was ready was unbelievably stupid.
Matheny is just horrendous.
