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?

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.
