I was hoping we never had to do one of these after a loss.
I’ll be honest, I had nerves going into this one. But, when the Rays had the lead against Gerrit Cole going into the 5th inning, I felt great. Then, Kevin Cash made some questionable decisions. You can debate whether or not these decisions were right or wrong, but the fact of the matter is, they weren’t typical Kevin Cash decisions.
Letting Blake Snell go back out for the fifth inning to face the top of the Yankees order a third time through, going to John Curtiss in a one-run game in the ninth inning and leaving him out to dry.
