Kelly did fine, and I would have been okay with him continuing.

With that said, I had 3 main gripes. His pitch calling wasn't very good. Jay grabbed the walkie talkie several times. I didn't like the group chosen to extend versus the group chosen for primary bullpen work - Reyz was the best arm, extend him out the shoot - extend Taylor - Gervase was going to be your backend guy. Lastly, it took entirely too long to develop and call secondary pitches. I think alot of my 3 gripes had to do with his unfamiliarity with the arms, so I still would've been fine with him here.

Wes Johnson is on an entirely different level.

Kelly’s biggest issue was an over reliance on pitchers best pitch.

But that’s not that uncommon of a philosophy. Hell Lance Mcullers threw 27 curveballs in a row in a World Series game.

But I do think he leaned on it too heavily and it made the staff predictable.

I can’t complain a bit about what he did with our bullpen. It worked way more often than it had any right to.
