Here’s what I don’t get.

They already made the mistake of bringing in Harris and leaving Cole. Nationals took the lead etc etc.

But they doubled down on the mistake by then using FOUR other different relievers AFTER that, and a 1 run deficit became a 4 run deficit.

If Cole is your best pitcher (which he is) why is he not being used in the 8th/9th? Stop the bleeding. Trailing by 1 is so much easier to handle mentally and game wise.

I’m happy the Astros lost. They beat themselves and they don’t deserve the title.
