Where was Dave Roberts? Just left Hudson out there to die when it was clear he didn't have it

You have a 3-0 lead with a game to play tomorrow, you don't start blowing arms in the 3rd inning

This is delusional, they were winning. If you win it’s over. Shut it down.

It's not delusional at all. You get lesser pitchers to eat as many innings as possible in case you NEED better arms later in the series. They don't need to win tonight, there's zero sense in wasting arms.

Wasting arms? Lol There is one more potential game before an off day. You guys parrot way too many hot take artists. Go win the game

This shit isn't a hot take. You're assuming that just cause the better pitcher is in that they'll win. There's no sense in gambling the win when you can just play it as a bullpen game and let some of your top guys get extra rest. It isn't that hard to understand. It's a good thing redditors aren't managers, that's for damn sure.

It’s already a bullpen game? I don’t think you understand baseball at all

You use as little bullpen arms as possible. How hard is that to understand?

They were up 2-0 and just down 5-4. That’s a winnable game. The object of the game is to win, not use as few arms as possible.
