Also said he “wanted to turn Polanco around”. He struck out twice earlier against Gausman who waved at the pitchers.
Not at all convincing argument. He messed up, plain and simple. Bringing in Little gave up a run. A dumb move by a scared manager to rush to pull Gausman after he retired 15 in a row before Raleigh. A manager who strikes again after the Seattle series and Twins series with terrible decision with Garcia and Berrios.

Let's be accurate about it though.
He retired a bunch in a row before the Raleigh HR, then immediately walked the next guy. And yeah, pulling him didn't work.
