He barely got out of the sixth so I disagree with unnecessary. Tonight he definitely didn’t have it (at the time he was pulled it’s not like he struck out the side in the sixth) and I’m happy they used Romano to secure the win. And the stats show rather clearly on all situations Ray is awful in the seventh. It would be nice if just once maybe once you could give Montoyo/Walker the benefit of the doubt. Now I agree the Jays could certainly do better and Montoyo is a caretaker manager that should be replaced when they prioritize winning over development but I don’t see that this is the place where he made a mistake.
