[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand pitching and relief, but I think a lot of that is predicated on the idea that it's a long season, and you need to rest your best, etc. But this was literally the last game of the season. I think convention goes a bit out the window. Greinke's pitch count was low...like, unusually low for that point in the game. Even giving up a walk and a home run, I think he was their best option through that inning. And now that manager will be second-guessed for the rest of his career. [/quote] This was my thinking too, although remember that it was his third time through the order and all teams -- and especially good-hitting teams like the Nats -- are making adjustments by the third trip through. That said, it can be awful hard to hit a 67 mph hanging curve when you're used to seeing pitches in the mid-90s. That's why there were so many checked-batted balls into play.[/quote]
