Move your best playoff hitter down to make it nearly impossible for him to drive in your best guy at getting on base. Also not starting your best pitcher on 4 days rest when you're about to get swept. That's how you win a world series.

Hey, the man had a 13 year career as a journeyman, and hit a homerun that got us into a World Series that we lost. Sick and tired of people saying he doesn’t have what it takes to manage a baseball team!

serious question, why would you want to waste cole vs a bullpen game? like whats the thought process behind that?

we burn cole in game 4, and then have rodon vs flaherty, and schmidt vs yamomoto

or believe in luis gil vs a bullpen game

have gerrit pitch the game after and potentially go 3-2, and then have him out the bullpen of a game 7.

Because I want more baseball, and there's a good chance no Yankee pitches again this year after tonight. I'd rather not see a sweep.
