You can't manage that way in the playoffs and especially a 7 game series.
I'd argue that the playoffs is especially when you don't want to deviate from the playbook.
Look at the Tanaka situation yesterday - could easily have left him in more, he was cruising. But all the analytics forecasted a breakdown on the horizon. Do you go with 'gut' - or do you trust the process and expect that the third time through the lineup is going to bring pain to a guy who's otherwise on fire?
Both were the right decisions, IMO - just that Ottovino hasn't been steady lately.

I'd bet their scouting reports showed Springer having more trouble with the slider than fastball and that's why he went with Otto.
Can't blame Boone there for Otto hanging one. Springer was swinging all the way and that pitch should've been nowhere near the strike zone. Let alone a hanger right down the middle.

Yup they just said it on the broadcast - Springer was 0-4 with 3 Ks against Ottavino.
That was less about a bad decision by Boone, and more Ottavino just made a bad pitch, and a good hitter didn’t miss it.
hung one, it sucks but that’s what happened. You can’t be pissed when the strategy that got us here doesn’t work on the rare occasion. It was also a solo shot and the game is tied, it was hardly a death blow to the game.

This really makes no sense.
Boone decided to pull Paxton before the series started? And mapped up that Green would go and take him out while hot??
He's not going to keep any of the core relievers in for 3 innings. If he brought CC or Happ in - then you'd be perplexed at the pitching change, but Green could easily have given up the same HR and then the complaint would be Boone stuck with a reliever more than 2 innings.
Armchair managing sounds easy, but it's really just whining at the outcome
4 inning game now, 0-0. Let's get to Verlander this one. Had some good ABs last inning and Urshela almost put one in the seats. Just do a little better this time.
to try and get 3 outs in a game where your starter didn't get out of the 3rd inning.
Head scratching.
Why is it head scratching? They did what needed to be done to get out of the inning tied and move forward.
Look at the success Tampa had vs them throwing all their guys. The Yanks went with 13 pitchers for a reason, and with the day off tomorrow, don't be surprised to see everyone but Sevy and Masa tonight.

Not Paxton. The move to take Green out at a certain pitch number or with a certain batter coming up.
Paxton getting yanked was the right decision, imo.
to decide whether or not to send him, once it gets away from Altuve you have to, it just took a lucky bounce for the Astros. That ball hops anywhere else and it's 3-2 yankees, 1st and 3rd.

Re: pulling Green - a dude on Twitter looked up the numbers on who had the highest slugging 0ercentage in all of MLB against four seam fastballs (ie, the only pitch Green really throws), and it was none other than George Springer.

yea and usually the SS isn't as close to the 2b
If it was a 2-2 pitch I doubt he would've but at 3-2 DJ was running on the pitch and rounding third as the ball bounced away from Altuve. If it rolls away from him a little more instead of right to Correa, he scores.
Put the pressure on them to make the play and they did,

So far it's working. "Hot hand" just doesn't ever work. It's in the numbers, the odds. Like it or not.
98MPH fastballs and an absolutely devastating, fall-off-the-table changeup. Wow.

That Verlander gets better the third time around explanation was nonsensical.

Missed a hittable one there
well hopefully verlander only has one more in him.
be great haha
Insane!
bases loaded for sanchez with verlander around 100 pitches and laboring
He has gotten some luck, but to be fair they hit some vicious at'em balls in the early innings too
This
And we dont even know if DJ went on his own
