But Ned pulled a lot of strings late, nearly all that worked. So who knows

Like I said...if he wants to give the entire 6th to Ventura, ok...
After he went back to shields, who had no idea how to get 2, 3 and 4 out...
He HAD to get a lefty up and ready for moss in case he did exactly what he ended up doing (putting Fuld and Donaldson on).
What he did was classic Ned bullpen shit that honestly should've cost us a playoff game. It was tragically bad. No manager other than Ned does that.
Literally every other manager goes Duffy or Finnegan there. You don't ignore splits in a playoff game.
