If Kevin Cash Had Left Blake Snell In Game Six Of The World Series Instead Of Taking Him Out Would There Have Been A Game Seven Of The World Series Between Tampa Bay And Los Angeles?
Kevin Cash who is the manager of the Tampa Bay Rays made a mistake!
When?
In game six of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night!
What was it?
He removed starting pitcher Blake Snell who was cruising through the Los Angeles Dodgers hitters where he struckout nine through four innings and allowed just two hits over 5 1/3 frames, while throwing only 73 pitches. “according to an article by Juan Toribio on mlb.com
When?
In the sixth inning!
For who?
Reliever Nick Anderson who gave up a double down the left field line to Mookie Betts putting runners at first and second base. “according to an article by Juan Toribio on mlb.com
Because Kevin Cash took Blake Snell out of game six of the World Series the Los Angeles Dodgers are the World Series Champions.
If Kevin Cash had left Blake Snell in instead of taking him out would Tampa Bay have had the opportunity to win the game and force a game seven of the World Series between them and the Los Angeles Dodgers?
That question I likely will never get answer to!
Why?
Because the World Series is over and the Los Angeles Dodgers are the World Champions!
But I hope that this mistake that Kevin Cash made in the World Series is going to teach him that when a starter is effective that he needs to leave him out there elimination game or not because he likely can your team get a win!
