During the championship runs, it seemed like Bochy ALWAYS made the right calls. Now his calls are all backfiring. Starting Kelby and Hernandez in Game one...fail. Starting Jeff instead of Moore in game two...fail. Now we go back home with our backs against the wall...not good.

I didn't get the Kontos move, either, Randy.
Blach was there FOR long relief.
Kontos was a bridge guy.
Then again, George showed me why I've been so unhappy with him all year long IN SPITE of his numbers.
Grooving a fastball like that to a good hitting pitcher?
Everyone KNOWS Woods can hit... well, check that. Everyone but Kontos seems to know that.
But all that aside, our at bats, except Blanco's and Belt's at bats, were all terrible.
And I don't care WHAT Kyle Hendricks ERA is. He just isn't that good!
Everyone, to me, anyway, looked like they were trying to turn on, lift and jerk his stuff.
I guess they took their cues from Jeffy the Stubborn.
Morons.

Also perhaps that we view a call as better when it works out, even though the call was a good one or a bad one before we know the result? If a "bad" move works out, we often forget that we thought it was a bad move at the time. And if a "good" move doesn't work, we are far more likely to be critical of it.
