As much as we hate the moves Dusty made in the regular season, I think he's been very solid in the playoffs this year and last in terms of lineups and bullpen moves. I do question his use of Maton, but it obviously worked out in our favor.
Maybe he just likes to experiment more during the regular season with a decent lead and doesn't care about going for total wins?
So far.
Dusty's bad decisions of using guys like Pressley and graveman extensively (even in games where it's not necessary) may not show up until later in the playoffs if we continue to advance. They will be tired when it counts. That's what happened with the dodgers in 2017. So far he's used both in games with a lead of 5 or more.
That could be a potential issue. After pitching both recently, is 1 day of rest enough to use them in Game 3 or are they unavailable? Based on pitchcount, I think Graveman is out.
Let's just hope our offense goes Super-Saiyan so it's not an issue
