Olivo is a career .222-.265-.393 hitter vR.
Jaso is a career .254-.342-.379 hitter vR.
Even Wells is .262-.329-.469 vR.
At that point, with the tying run on 3rd, more than enough precedent had been set throughout their careers.
Wedge botched this one.
Does he hold himself accountable and bench himself for a game?
BTW, all the metrics point to Ryan's value with the glove, perhaps the best in the game. So you bench him for a bad toss?
Do you bench Pujols for a strikeout to end a game?
When Verlander has a bad start, do you bench/punish him the next game?
Uh.....not me.
