While I admire their devotion to their philosophy you have to wonder sometimes, such a dogmatic approach to baseball eventually rears it head at the worst time. They won 100 games so what do I know, but in a short playoff series, these things matter.

That's just how they are, same with Milwaukee. Today the Brewers took out Peralta after four scoreless in a 0-0. Reliever gave up a 3 run homer in the 5th.
You are right, it works in a long season but not the playoffs.
