Yeah, going with a rookie starter that has 1 relief appearance in his career, 2 on no out, in the biggest game for this franchise in 30 years. Sounds like a great idea.
Nerves/experience aside, he is a righty who had to face a lefty...who had already crushed our starter earlier in the game. Ideally you would have a lefty with experience getting out of jams, but just one of those would do and Ventura is neither.
