Exactly. If he gets another inning or mere outs from Kirby, maybe me doesn’t go to Bazardo, straight to Munoz.

I believe your original point was abundantly proven last night.
Again.

  Boy, if we think the pitching changes were questionable last night, wait til the World Series.
  
  Whether it’s in the booth , the postgame analysis shows with firmer All Stars Hall of Famers, the 2nd guessing is rampant and at an all-time high.

But after his removal, 9 runs, three charged to him. Had Snell stayed in, do they score nine. Probably not.

But who would have taken that chance.

Sure he is a bit tired but has 4 run lead and doesn't appear to have lost his command . So Roberts going to ride that horse to the finish line !

NOTE: Game over Yamamoto becomes first Dodger pitcher to complete back to back postseason games since 1988 Orel Hersheiser
Sounds like 37 years to me !

Now he can make it a trifecta next time he starts .

Fret illustration of my intent. Had They pulled Yama, and runs score, a travesty. They didn’t. And it worked out fine.

Obviously the Japanese pitcher is more mentally tough than the American Boys……they’ve been brainwashed and coddled to think they need to be pulled around 6 innings……All mental

It’s also training. You just can’t get more out of a modern starter that’s been coddled and on pitch counts all their life. Heck, they even don’t get to bat or run the bases!
