I would have pitched to Ohtani in the 7th as well. WORSE case, it's a tie game. Obviously they couldn't pitch to him in extras.

No one would have called him a coward. And if they did, then they’re morons. The guy is having the greatest run of playoff games in the history of baseball.
Only a complete idiot would say it’s cowardly to avoid pitching to him. Let him steal and deal with freeman and betts.
But to leave your best pitchers sitting down because they can only pitch in late innings is the kind of nonsense that got Seattle knocked out.
You bring in your best guys to face their best guys and if they don’t get it done then at least you lost best on best.
Putting out Dominguez AND not walk ohtani is doubly stupid.
Then to pull Barger and Kirk and leave us with a bunch of Single A hitters plus Vladdy destroyed out lineup.
Don’t get me wrong, Vlad and clement and Varsho were invisible but you can’t win a World Series game with 3 MLB hitters in your line up.
