Turner was about 5 feet away from hitting a homerun.

The official theme music of Kevin Cash.

That’s hilarious. I want the Dodgers to win but that’s just awful awful game management.

Turner was a foot away from splitting it open with a 2 run shot.

Cash legit deserves to be fired for that hook if the Rays lose

 

[SJSharksfan39]

So Snell is pitching really well and they take him out. Micromanaging in the Sabermetric Era.

Snell:

I'm legitimately expecting it

 

[GKJ]

Maybe he’s putting Snell back in

 

[King Makar19]

Kevin cash should be fited. f*** advanced stats etc....

 

[Del Preston]

Is that the worst decision by a Manager all year

I almost feel like he bet on the dodgers

Same manager did the same thing with the same pitcher last series against the Astros (also Game 6) and got the same result.

Normally, I hate bashing a manager...because most of us don't know all the details behind decisions they make.
However, I cannot, for the life of me, think of a single good reason why Snell should have been pulled at the juncture of the game.

If anything, Snell's expression as he's being pulled (again!), I think, tells it all.
For all the good Kevin Cash has done with this team, he definitely has overmanaged in this World Series.
And while the game isn't over, the turn of momentum in the Dodger's favor is definitely there now.

Cash could have just overmanaged his team right to a series loss.

 

[Halladay]

These baseball playoffs have been really fun. Seems like people are actually watching and paying attention to it too.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

There’s your analytics right there

 

[Breakers]

I guarantee when Betts when back to first base and took his equipment to the 1st base coach he said

"Cash is a F'n idiot"

I guarantee he said something along those lines

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Does Cash get the World Series MVP?

 

[NJDevs26]

LOL and watch the Rays bail out Cash yet again. Dumb decision after dumb decision in this postseason by almost all these managers, let your damn starters pitch!

Wikipedia currently has this for Kevin Cash. Look at the last line:

"
Kevin Forrest Cash (born December 6, 1977) is an American professional baseball manager and former player who is the manager of the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball (MLB).
Previously, Cash played catcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Houston Astros, and Texas Rangers. He was the bullpen coach for the Cleveland Indians, before being hired as the Rays' manager in December 2014. Just cost his team the World Series."

I love how they just keep showing Snell on the bench. I wish he didnt have a mask lol.

 

[GKJ]

I hate the new Rangers ballpark.

I don’t hate it but it seems so dark. I feel like the game is being played in overseas because it feels like a world feed like when the NFL plays in London

 

[Halladay]

The Rays have 9 outs.

I love how they just keep showing Snell on the bench. I wish he didnt have a mask lol.

I would have liked to have read his lips.

Snell had only 73 pitches too, my goodness. I thought it was higher.

BUT THIRD TIME AROUND THE ORDER!

As if no starting pitcher has ever gotten a guy out three or four times in a game.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Not a good look for computers there. Pulling Snell turns out not to be a good idea.

Common Sense prevails yet again.

 

[These Are The Days]

I swear to God I would be in the clubhouse after that. I don't think I'd have the capacity to not snap on Cash if I was in the dugout
