Not understanding sending him back out there for the eighth?

Struggling this postseason.

Struggled last inning.

Threw a lot of pitches last night.

Running out of pitchers. 

I love CC, but taking out Miley that early set up this sequence of events. 

Keeping Hader in for extra innings in game 1 led to him not playing at all in game 2. Allowing Jeffress to pitch in the 8th after getting out of a huge jam in the 7th was not a good thing either. Whenever Jeffress comes into a game, any lead we have is just not big enough. The guy may have heart but he reminds me of when the Crew had Derek Turnbow pitching for them as a closer--Maalox time!

Jeffress has been responsible for each major rally that the opposition has mustered against this bullpen in the playoffs. Itโ€™s time to look at why. Heโ€™s not locating, and heโ€™s not sharp. The splitter Turner hit to win the game last night didnโ€™t dive... not the way a splitterโ€™s suppose to anyway. The Rockies were all over early count fastballs when they tied up game 1. Just a lack of pop to it. 

He cannot be counted on in high leverage spots right now. He might need to be the middle guy for a few games.
