I don't blame Kim. He had one bad inning; one blown save. Then he was clearly not pitching well. Brenly sent him out in the tenth. That's not Kim's fault.
Last night, he had no business being there. I'm sorry, we're not trying to build confidence here, this is the World Series. Yes, you can use pitchers on shorter rest, but nobody who throws 62 pitches on a blown save for a loss should be sent out the next day, under no conditions whatsoever. As I said above, Schilling threw 15 pitches more and he gets 3 days rest.
Someone should do a study of MLB records, for I think Kim is the first guy in a long while to get a loss and then blow a save on the same day. (and if you exclude double headers, I know he is). That's the manager's fault.
"well, he had a long outing and got rocked last night, let's see if a sore arm helps him find the strike zone."
