New to this board, hopefully this will post accurately. Not only was the leash too long for the pitching side, but too long for the hitting side as well. Not sure why he left Stanton in the 4th slot for all games. Of the 60 runners LOB by the Yankees in this series, Stanton was responsible for 15 of them, that's a whopping 25% of all runners, including 3 important ones in the 9th inning of the last game as we all witnessed. You can not have that kind of production from your clean up batter,especially during the playoffs.
