2017 MLB Post Season

[Northern Star]

Let the second guessing begin. Did Dusty Baker pull Max Scherzer too early? How do you lose a 1-0 lead from the seventh inning on without using your two best relievers? Yes, the winning hit came on a blooper, but the fact that it came off Oliver Perez instead of Ryan Madson or Sean Doolittle has to hurt. On the other hand ... one run (thanks to an error) isn't going to cut it.

I wouldn't trust Oliver Perez to take out the trash, never mind pitching in a postseason game.

Putting Solis in was a terrible move anyway, and then sticking with him against Almora instead of Kintzler was even worse.
