Lot of mistakes this inning. Not super.

Seemed reasonable to leave gio in after 25 pitches. Certainly not a head scratcher to leave him in.

Gio not getting the job done on a crappy hitter is not the manager’s fault and he wasn’t really struggling.
Helsley was forced to be an option. Not really a real option. Situation forced Oli’s hand.
There’s only two reliable arms in the pen, that’s on Mo.

My eyes told me he wasn’t missing bats or finishing his slider.
Admittedly, I think Oli has been awful this year with the bullpen and doesn’t have the benefit of doubt from me.

I have trouble blaming Oli. Our bullpen is bad. It has 3 reliable guys and one just went on the IL today.

You and @dmarx114 are mathematically wrong in regards to Oli.
Fangraphs says Manager runs created = Reliever WPA - Reliever WPA/LI.
Oli is third in all of baseball with 2.20. With a crappy pen at that. You guys are just flat wrong on Oli.
If he's bad, 26 other managers are worse.
