This is why I'm not angry at Ned about putting in Madson during Game 6. The move didn't make sense to me at the time, but after listening to his rationale I understood the thought behind the move.
I was livid when he brought in Yo (again, I'd have been more understanding had it been a clean inning) and thought the obvious move was to bring in Herrera (which he ended up doing any way). I've forgiven him for the move. I understand he wanted Yo's velocity in that situation, but if velocity was his goal, why not, as Pedro suggested, bring in Kelvin? Kelvin would have been much more used to that situation, was better rested, and could throw the same fire as Ventura.
I don't agree with his rationale, but I understand why Ventura offered value coming from the pen. I just don't think that was the right situation to make that move.
