Sounds like people have made up their minds with no evidence to support it based on their own personal biases.

No evidence to support what? That his first two decisions didn't work, and that there was ample reason to suspect that Cooper, in particular, would not be the best option there? What evidence is missing? You're still arguing from the same faulty position. You want to say that we're wrong because we don't know what would have happened if different decisions were made. I've already addressed this point with you. Not all good decisions lead to good results, and not all bad decisions lead to bad results. Pulling your best reliever after one batter, and then the second best available reliever after 2 batters, to go with a guy who's getting knocked around all year, is not sound decision making. It took a third pitching change, for something to finally work.

The "evidence" of who should be closing that game out, is in the numbers. I'm not sure what else you think you need.
