Blue Jays starting Gausman was the right move in Game 1, but was he pulled to early?

The Toronto Blue Jays were back in the ALCS for the first time since 2016, hosting the Seattle Mariners in Game 1 on Sunday night at Rogers Centre and the series didn't start the way it wanted, and there was some controversy surrounding a key managerial moment.

With the game tied and Kevin Gausman needing just one more out to get out of the sixth inning, he was pulled from the game, in a move that have a lot of people second guessing if Manager John Schneider made the right decision in a game that ended in a 3-1 loss for the Blue Jays and a 1-0 Mariners lead in the series.
