Why? Completely unnecessary. Strop has been money. You have to win four games, which means that extending Davis for two innings is a dumb idea. Did you mean to use the green font for this post?
How the hell? Exactly my thoughts. You can explain Game 4 of the NLDS due to the weather but last night makes no sense at all. The whole year has been surprisingly bad for resale and then remember that ticket prices went up 20%.
I’m not saying Lackey should’ve been pitching in that situation but Joe doesn’t have much to work with in that bullpen. And one run isn’t going to win you many playoff games.
