    Checkout post # 20.

    First I've heard of Luhnow being involved in this decision. Seems like deflectingthe blame attempt. But I guess anything is possible.

    Not really. He didn’t tell him he was available at any moment. They had their best reliever in the game who had been nails all year long. Cole clearly told him not to put him in during the middle of an inning. Folks need to stop trying to rewrite history with their silly assumptions. He’s already publicly admitted this and just flat out extremely old news

    Was Close available or not?

    Could Hinch have found a way to start an inning with Cole.

    Did Hinch say before the game Harris had been overworked?

    Andwer- All of the above.

    nope he was not, not in the middle of an inning which has been known for a long time now.

    found a way? umm he was going to start the next inning once his best reliever harris got through his inning, with the lead or a tie game and not a scenario outside of that

    nope

    Like I said then you go with your closer Osuna and let Cole finish the game.

    I noticed how you avoided the questions.

    Yes and I said so at the time.

    Osuna in the 7th and Cole in the 8-9rh

    Was Bochy dumb when he let MadBum go 3 innings on 3 days rest in game 7 against the Royals?

    I'm from the old school Bochy way of thinking. You win or lose game 7 with your best on mound.

    which would be stupid. and they loss with their best reliever on the mound who made a good pitch. your attempt at hindsight and rewrite history doesn't mean anything but a silly assumption
