First and foremost, I want to emphasize that in this article there is no criticism, just analysis. After all, when the ghost of Bob Melvin, inhabiting the body of Ryan Christenson, summoned Blake Treinen to try to save a dramatic and important win, one has to presume that Treinen told the coaches he was good to go for an inning and who can blame a skipper for turning to his All-Star closer in a one-run game you have a chance to steal?
Also, it should be noted that despite looking a bit shaky Treinen was far from bad.
