What the fuck was Montreal doing, leaving Montoya in for 10 goals? If you want to be cynical....he is a UFA after the season and that GAA (or other stat) isn't going to be pretty as a backup at the end of the year which may give teams pause about coming after him or at least drive down his price.

Perhaps not but if that third pitcher of the inning doesn't come in, the network has no window to force those extra commercials on you mid-inning.

Yes. He was a pitching coach from 2001-14, those last five with the Reds. His area of expertise was the worst aspect of the team. He's 206-271 as Manager. This is approaching Dolan-Thomas level of bizarre loyalty.
