Criticizing Kapler

Phillies Nation did not like the way Gabe Kapler managed game one:

This was a sickening game. The Braves had no right being back in it. Yes Freeman is a stud. Yes Albies is awesome. But they’re supposed to show up when Nick Pivetta pitches tomorrow, or when Vince Velasquez goes on Saturday. When Nola is out there, you have everything you need to win the game. Kapler took out his best weapon far too soon, and he paid the price.

I suspect Kapler stuck with his game plan, and today the bullpen did not execute. Red Sox fans may be thinking the same thing about Alex Cora.
