Formula is be patient, work the count and build up his pitch count, avoid swinging at sliders out of the zone and look for the fastball to hit. Easier said than done, but if we execute we are in business.
Agree. Not going for HFA with the best home record in the AL and worst away record in the playoffs was a no brainer. We could have done it, we punted many games with Sunday lineups and Keuchel starts.
LaRussa is obsessed with matchups, no matter the players involved. He does not adjust or changes his plans. He is the worst manager in the playoffs, even worse than Dusty. He is in embarrassment territory.
