in that Roberts trusted Joe Kelly, who couldn't throw a strike with a 6 run lead his last time out and threw a total of 6 pitches over the last 3 weeks of the regular season, over Kenley in the 9th AND 10th inning. It said even more that he had no problem leaving Kelly out there to throw 30 plus pitches while loading the bases, and he left him in to face the Nat batters throughout that inning with Kenley ready to go in the pen.

Not having Kelly on a short leash in the 10th is just plain bizarre.
