Mickey Callaway's bullpen usage is going to give me an aneurysm. If the team's agreed upon strategy is that Diaz will only be used for a max of one inning, I can accept it even if I think it's stupid.

But after not going to him last night in the 8th inning of a one run game, bases loaded, your pen has already imploded, Bryce Harper and 4/5 is still to come, your rationale cannot be "we will not use him to get 4 outs. We will use him for 3 outs."

How about using him to just get ONE OUT you complete imbecile???

You can't be willing to accept the 9th inning being meaningless because you didn't use your best reliever in the highest leverage situation possible, while also worrying about your best reliever's ability to come back in another inning.
