One thing I didn't like was Molina talking Madden into letting him complete the eighth inning. When you are clearly dazed by a foul ball off the dome, when the umpire has to call the trainer out for another look, and when said trainer wants to pull you, the manager shouldn't even be listening to you. I know Buck was praising MLB's advances in concussion protocol, but Madden should have listened to everyone but the guy whose head was just scrambled.
