Never been a fan of taking a good pitcher out of the game too early and relying on a half dozen guys to all have a good night to keep you in a game. I realize the hook has to be a little quicker in the playoffs and WS but dayum, Hill should have been left to go a few more innings, unless they tagged him for a few... That leaves you with two or three relievers that have to perform well, not 6 or more. Much better odds. And of course sometimes no matter what you do the pitchers cough up long balls...
In my perfect scenario, Kershaw pitches gems and the Dodgers lose in 6 or 7. I like him... Not a fan of LA succeeding in anything, in any sport. Also like the Astros...
