I watched a ball game Fido.

Why the hell did they pull Snell after his 2nd hit of the game?
- M. Arachide

Cause the Rays stick to their own book of rule : pretty much no pitcher in the playoff could face batters for a 3rd time around because this is when the stats are getting uggly

But again you had a Cy young winner on the hill and only 2 hits given, agreed you leave him there !

Did you see also they go with 4 outfielder againts a batter sometimes ?

It's obviously easy to call it a mistake because of how things turned out.

But despite what the stats might tell you, when your best pitcher is still throwing fireballs out there.... I think you should let him pitch until he shows signs of slowing down.

point is a great coach adapts to every game and never stick to rules over all different games, every game is different !

Felipe would have left him there

Nobody was touching him, it's not like those outs were line drives in the outfield, he was making the dodgers batters look like fools.

Soon as the manager stepped on the field, the dodgers started getting hyped. That should have been a sign right there and they showed the stats that relief pitcher had given points in his last 6 outings. It's not like they were putting Mariano Riviera on the mount.

It's like going for it on 4th down in football. When you get it the coach is a genius, when you don't he's a fool who doesn't know what he's doing.

Or calling a pass at a the one yard line when you have Lynch as your RB

Or...maybe the Rays are like the Yankees and inform their coach that all decisions come from the spreadsheet, end of discussion. Stats guys are winning over old school guys in baseball front offices

That pass is completed they win the SB, Wilson gets SB MVP and Carroll and their OC are geniuses. Damned if you do damned if you don't

Lynch would have gotten that 1 yard in that situation.

He always did.

I get the idea that "we're gonna trick them" by not doing the obvious play that should work.

But if you decide to go that route, you better (frank)ing hope it works because you'll be called an idiot otherwise, and rightfully so.

I also don't remember you and me agreeing on so many things in one morning.

Wanna hit the gym brah? I could use some tips.

Not really, one of the stupidest call ever, hence why we are still talking about it

not many people were stopping Lynch over a yard back then

- Takemedrunkimhome

again, not really : Yankees are there cause they can always buy good UFA year after year and also they do know how to draft properly

Rays are always trying to do things differently, they are the one that introduced the shift, now the 4 outfielder sometimes

His argument is stupid shows the lack of depth he brings to the discussion

i mean, it's true pundits would be fawning all over them if it worked because that's what they do but it's also true that it was a terrible idea.

marshawn was a beast. he won people fantasy leagues all by himself for a few years back there.
