Postseason managing makes me sicker every year. They have like eight relievers in the bullpen. No team uses more than three in a 5-game set. Instead the Indians with three Astros on and one down have no better idea than to completely gas Trevor Bauer, who also pitched *yesterday* in a hopeless loss. I was under the impression they might want him around to maybe start a game at some point...
And the sick thing is, it never works out. Oh, Reliever X is so amazing. Yeah, that usually holds up until Game 6 of the World Series, when they get shackled for four as they try to pitch two and two thirds for the sixth straight game.
This can't be the end to all pitching wisdom, can it? Please tell me it can't.
