There is no God damn reason in hell you can justify not going to Davis there.
It was simple.
We had to keep the game tied. Wade Davis gave us, probably, a 65% chance of that happening. Finnegan? 20%
You bring in Davis. Let's say he gets out of it.
4-4.
Top 7. Who knows.
He pitches bottom 7.
4-4.
and then you go to the 8th.
Can't pitch Herrera? Fine.
It's the World Series.
Turn to Holland for 2...
and if it's still 4-4 after 9
Then it is what it is. That gave us 9 outs to win the game by scoring 1 run. We can't do that, then ok. Congrats SF. You win.
