Was bringing in Keegan James conceding?

I honestly think so. But they're going to beat us so badly today, that we'll still be shell-shocked tomorrow.

Leaving Billingsly in the game was conceding. I think bringing Keegan in was the right thing. He’s not our top reliever but sometimes he has top level stuff. It’s hard to bring in France when you are down

Then when do we bring France in? Down 3-1 with bases loaded and 2 outs early in a CWS game is not a good time to bring in a much better pitcher?

Losing today wasn’t going to be the end of the world, but the last thing we needed was a complete beat down. If we don’t force them into using more than a couple pitchers today, we’ve lost any advantage that we had by playing one less game

It better be. If you haven't played for 4 days and you feel like your best move was your 3rd guy, you better not waste any of your best bullpen guys to get you to tomorrow.

Yes. Our future coach conceded the fri game to play for Sat in the 2nd inning....meanwhile giving a better team all the momentum. Great decision!

There is no such thing as momentum in baseball. It doesn't exist. Today's game has no bearing on tomorrow's game. Why would we use up all our good relievers in a game we're getting killed in if we have to play tomorrow. If Keegan shuts them down and we score a few runs to get it close, I guerantee you'll see France and possibly Self in later innings.

Not when you have another game to prepare for. No need to waste quality relievers when you are losing and it’s not a must win game.

1-2 counts to a bottom of order batter should not result in a pitch over the heart of plate. But alas, for Keegan James, that is where he wanted to throw it.

Does Hendo know that Small won’t be available tomorrow? How’s his arm? That’s a real concern.
