Oh ****? Liriano?

Gibby almost blew that game. Biagini should have been left to finish the 7th. He was pitching well and it's a 4-run lead. No need to play match-up, especially with the huge question mark Cecil is. Odor's splits pretty even too (.269 against lefties; .272 against righties). Instead he brings in Cecil, who walks Odor on 4 pitches, and then is forced to use Grilili in the 7th. Then, he played match-up again, pulling Grilili after one batter to bring in Lariano, again... still with a 4-run lead. Osuna, fortunately, bailed out these poor decisions. Huge win, especially with Sanchez lined up for game 3.

Well here's your chance. Knowing what you know now, do you do anything different than Gibby did?
But if they don't give up a hit or run it's brilliant bullpen management. You know, just like Tuesday night...
