If he had good numbers against the Yankees and his OPS didn't balloon like that the 3rd time through and I was complaining, THAT would be using hindsight.
This is the definition of Monday morning QBing - you are seeing the results and then basing a past decision off that.

You think it would have been a good call to take Cy Young candidate Ray out after sitting down 12 straight and put in someone like Richards or Pearson? Maybe Mayza (who just blew a save)? I just don't see it as reasonable at the time. After the back to back home runs, yes, but never before that.
