I said as long as Vlad contributes defensively, and another member laughed at the comment.Vlady skeptics say your piece.
Thank goodness they got the lead that they did. Pulling a kid 22 year-old with 11 strikeouts in 5.1 without giving up a hit… I don't agree with that. I understand the bullpen needing to get work. I get all that. But I really do think Schneider overthinks things in the playoffs. Sometimes he just touches things a little too much. After the last two playoff appearances, and some of the bonehead moves he made you would think he would be a little more careful now..... I understand it's hard to argue with a manager that finished first in the American League east, but I don't agree with that move. At least let the kid go until he gives up his first hit. This is a best three out of five series and you're almost up two games to none heading to New York with home-field advantage for a game five if possible. This is not the time to start farting around by giving people playing time. He is managing that game like this is High Park house league.That was scary after they removed Yesavage, they kept coming back. I think they should've left him in for another inning
I see Teoscar had a big game yesterday.Thank goodness they got the lead that they did. Pulling a kid 22 year-old with 11 strikeouts in 5.1 without giving up a hit… I don't agree with that.

Imagine if that move lost the game?
