Alex Corra and Dave Roberts have both taken heat for removing pitchers from games too early or leaving pitchers in too long. I think sometimes we, as San Francisco Giants fans, take it for granted that managers are supposed to push all of the right buttons in October.
That’s how much Bruce Bochy spoiled us in all three of the Giants’ World Series runs.
Of course Bochy knew that relieving a dominant Tim Lincecum with Brian Wilson, at times the heir apparent to “Heart Attack” Rob Nen, would result in an 1-2-3 ninth inning in Arlington that would result in the Giants winning their first ever title in San Francisco.
