Even though I'm on self-exile, it appears the bullpen is wearing out.

You have a manager that doesn’t have a clue in managing a bullpen!! You have Hernandez warming up along with Iglesias and you bring Iglesias out for a 4 out save! What?? You can’t trust Hernandez to get the be out!! What a slap in face to Hernandez. That did not make any sense! In fact bringing out Peralta in the 8th was a stupid move! Hernandez with a 2.13 Era and you put in Peralta! Two stupid moves within an inning!!
My question to you, was there a need for Iglesias to go out in the 8th while Hernandez was already warmed up? That to me is a head scratcher!! Never mind the fact Hernandez didn’t go out for 8th inning. Hitters are hitting below .200 against Hernandez so matchups shouldn’t have been an issue.
Without going through the matchups it's not a slam dunk it was the wrong call. Hernandez had a recent run of coming in and promply giving up HRs also.
it's not like Hughes isn't giving up HRs on a daily basis and he uses him almost every day. Bringing in Iglesias was a slap in the face to a guy who has been lights out 85%-90% of of the time. And let's not even talk about Peralta who's performances have been completely awful! Yea I would say it was a slam dunk wrong call.
