because MLB wasn't about to cancel the game and postpone the series for two weeksIf they knew the test result in the 2nd inning why was he allowed to stay in the game until after the 7th?
I wasn't expecting them to cancel the game but the league is saying he was ordered off the field when they found out about the result. He stayed in for another five innings and they did nothing about it. This is some amateur stuff.because MLB wasn't about to cancel the game and postpone the series for two weeks
Preach Willybuns!

He was like five feet from hitting a 2-run homer in the 6th too. Lol, imagine the shitstorm if that had happened.
If I were commissioner I would take away the trophy and say we have no champion this year. This is a black eye on Baseball and compared to the NHL and NBA, this is unfathomable.
so basically the league know he had tested positive but didn't do anything because they didn't want to be forced to postpone the WS
nice
Because their bubble, was actually a bubble.

At the end of the day they didn't follow protocol. The Bubble failed.
Cash is in a no win situation. If he leaves the guy in, and the Dodgers explode, he gets the Grady Little treatment. If he takes him out, and the bullpen fails to perform, he gets the Dusty Baker treatment from 2002 game 6.
The decision he made isn't that controversial imo. He's doing what they've done all year. It didn't work out. That's baseball.
The only thing more annoying than Cash's move is going to be the analytics zealots defending it to the death.
Yeah this is the best part. There's not another manager in the game that pulls Snell there. Not one. I wonder what numbers Cash was sitting on that nobody else in the world would act upon. What a smart guy, next level!
