mattdangerously Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yankees have to go back to Houston now for the deciding games. They face Keuchel today, and likely Verlander after that. I still like Houston's chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Can't believe Houston pulled the starter after giving up the Judge homer. He was only just over 80 pitches, and had given up just the one run. What is it about managing in the playoffs that makes everyone go nuts and try to get the bullpen involved as soon as possible?

Jiji Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 There now seems to be a lot of weight in wanting to avoid the opposition line-up facing your starter three times unless said starter is on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's modern baseball: take out a pitcher who is pitching well until you find the guy who can blow the game. It also goes hand in hand with the idea that the game is scripted and that every reliever has their own inning that they are magically supposed to be great in. It never changes, so if the magic 7th inning guy mows everyone down he still gets pulled for the magic 8th inning guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Quick, someone convince Joe to pull Tanaka and go to the bullpen so the Astros have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Would def choose Shulman/Boone if I was watching/listening, followed by Astros radio crew. Buck or Sterling/Suzyn, not options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
