re: Down 2 Runs Going into the 7th

It isn't hard to diagnose though. Latz was brought in to face the lefty heavy top of the lineup. In game 2, Bugg was brought in to face the righty heavy bottom of the lineup. Newman was brought in because he was the best available in game 2 and Latz wasn't going to be able to go in any event. You acting like he gave up because he went to Latz doesn't hold up to any type of scrutiny. He played matchups in game 1. Leaving Bugg in to face the lefties wasn't a smart matchup play.
