Yeah, in Grady's shoes, I'd have given Pedro the hook the first time he came out to the mound in the 8th ... but you know, when moves like that backfire, everyone chimes in and second guesses the manager ... and if he HAD taken Pedro out and things had gone wrong, don't think for a second Grady wouldn't have heard plenty about THAT move ...
