Jeez by that logic, why not just swing at every pitch? You could hit a homer every time right.
Also what the f*** is this thread even for? Are we not allowed to talk about the things that happened in the game and look at the reasons a team won or lost? I’m not sure what your problem is.
Looking back on this game, its kinda confusing that Hinch went to Pressly instead of Harris or Smith in that situation. Game 2 was extremely important for the Astros, if they keep the game close and force the Nats to use Doolittle and Hudson then the Nats are kinda gassed for games 3/4/5. Instead they let the Nats blow it out and rest their best relievers.
