I'm partial to the 1986 NLCS for obvious reasons, but Game 6 of that series was probably the best single playoff game I've ever seen. To refresh my memory I looked at the box score of that one. McDowell pitched 5 innings in relief, Orosco pitched 3. You’ll never see that again. Hell, if Kapler gets another job, in a similar situation he’d have his 5th outfielder closing the game. Pitchers were men back then. What's the logic behind the way pitchers are used today? Is it simply analytics or is it just a shift in basic philosophy? The way pitchers were used even in the 1990s for example was radically different than pre-WWII. Are the times a-changing organically or have the bean counters ruined yet another element of sports?
