In a vital series, should there be a directive already from Atkins to John Schneider that Varland and Little should NO longer be pitching in high leverage situations?
With enough rest prior to this series, Lauer/ Bassit and Scherzer should have been the pitchers to have taken over both Gausman and Trey. The reason why Nance was not brought over to the ALCS series.
This I could not comprehend. Especially the prior shaky performances from both Varland and Little in the NY series.
what a very costly decision just to prove a point that the acquisition of Varland at the deadline was justified and now it backfired.
