Jerry Manuel's 'Brilliance'

Lost in all the excitement over Jerry Manuel "outmanaging" Tony LaRussa (who obviously didn't care too much about winning) is the boneheaded way he handled Krod last night. He made him warm up in basically every inning. The guy threw more pitches than the starters! No doubt this had a negative effect on Krod's performance when he finally got in the game. Why not just bring him in in the 10th inning and have him pitch 2 innings? Isn't 2 innings from your best pitcher right away better than a chance at one inning of him for a save? And now he is unavailable for tonight's game! Jerry's stupidity costs this team every day! He has to go! Now!
