Micro-maddoning blunder.

Could have easily rode Lester another inning until he left a guy on base. Or started Strop with a clean inning. Puts Strop and Chapman in a bad position. So obnoxious.
 
Why didn't he keep in Puig for his defense? I mean I was on board with taking him out so Reddick can get to hit in the 9th, but why remove him when you might need his arm?

Strop/Rondon/Chapman are so much more effective not coming into jams. You bring them in with guys on base and it is bad.

I know Rondon has been hurt, but 3 months ago Joe would have sent him out in the ninth to get any three outs. Now he can't start out an 8th? He's either more hurt than they're saying or Joe is over doing it.
 
A basehit scores the winning run anyway so I think this is a smart move to get Chapman out.

Also Harold Reynolds head just exploded at the thought of an IBB w/o an open base at 1st.
