I think for the most part Gibby actually does a really good job with the Pen and its one of his strenghts. Sure there are going to be times you question his decision but pretty rarely is it a "WTF are you doing" decision. No manager is going to be perfect but I do feel like he bats well above avg in that situation.

But I 100% agree that using Osuna last night wasn't necessary and Gibby can over use his closer. Did it alot with BJ Ryan too back in the day.
