They never listen to you
Dumb comment. In the playoffs you need to have a quick hook with your relievers. The sense of urgency got to be there from the manager but nah you're right walking the bases loaded with no outs is completely fine

Can't take you seriously as a manager if you are down in a series and allow one of your relievers to walk the bases loaded in a tied game
'Allow'? The manager should just tell them not to do that I guess.

Like I said, someday they'll figure out your methods

Point is you can pull the pitcher before it gets to that point you freaking moron
You'd think they would learn when a pitcher is about to do that.

Are you retarded? It is the playoffs and he was struggling to find the plate against Schwarber and Turner as he walked both in addition to allowing the game tying double in the previous inning. I get it you think these games should be managed as they would in april or may because there should be no sense of urgency to avoid going down 3-1 in a best of 7

Some managers do seem to struggle with that decision more than others.

Imo, Dave Roberts is a really good manager overall...but his hook with starters is too short and with relievers, too long,

He'll pull a starter who's cruising, has a lead and showing no signs of fatigue, then sit and watch as the reliever blows the lead.

Weird how one series is 4 home winners and the other 5 away winners. Just more short sample size playoff weirdness
