Ok mrs dusty.

Not at all.  But you can't manage every game like game 7.  You don't bring in leverage arms down 3 or 4 in the 3rd inning of game 2.  One thing Smoltz preaches which he is correct about is that the more you show your bullpen in a 7 game series, the less effective it is later in the series.

That's literally what JP France is there for to come in and provide some innings to keep the high leverage arms off the field and yet still keep the game in better striking distance than Framber did.

I mean, maybe?  Are you completely sure that France doesn't give up a solo shot that inning?  It wasn't crazy for Dusty to give Framber - a proven post-season performer - a chance to right the ship and get you 5 innings.  You don't just dump your ace after two innings in which he wasn't really hit that hard.
