I realize that hating Hillman is the cool thing to do these days, but sometimes... just sometimes the players lose the game and its not the manager's fault at all.

Clearly, I have a history of hating on Hillman. Glad you searched my post history.
Actually, if you know anything about me, you'd know I'm a huge managerial apologist. But if he had any sense-- and, for that matter, if you did-- he'd know that Banny starts losing control on his pitches around 80, and because of his style, that usually means the sixth inning.
But go ahead and chalk it up to 20/20 hindsight. Other team's managers dont.
