So, when the coach comes out to the pitcher on the mound at a strategic do-or-die point, does it really inspire anyone? It just seems like a last-ditch effort on someone’s part, probably that of the coach. To me it says, “Yeah…we still think you can probably do it.” Or, “Yeah, we’re putting in the relief guy.” I never get that feeling of total confidence.
Since I’ve never been on the mound professionally, only as a grade school player, I can’t really relate. But it did seem like the “kiss” tonight. The Yankees lost it.
I wasn’t invested in the World Series, but what am I going to watch now in the evening?
Yay, Dodgers!!!!!
