Vin's hand is shaking.....I hate to see that.

That's fair. I tried to contextualize 5 bad innings of his (out of 100+) that are all 7th innings, all with a solid 6 innings prior, all 100+ pitches, with two of them also pitching on 3 days rest. I think that's a pattern, and that had he been pulled, he would be considered a very respectable postseason pitcher. Even counting his first two postseasons (even though he is a drastically better pitcher now), just taking away those five 7th-innings puts his career postseason ERA at 3.15 instead of 4.21.

We’re talking about a guy who over his entire career has averaged 6.7 innings per start with a 2.36 ERA in the regular season.

Forgive me if I don’t agree that we should ignore his 7th innings in the postseason in an effort to improve his 4.21 postseason ERA.
