For everyone upset about MW not pulling Scherzer after giving up the 4th run, what would it have mattered? You saw what the pen did the next two inninings.
People were roasting me in the game thread for having this opinion, even though I said I would have probably pinch hit for Scherzer there. The roster construction has serious issues for must-win games, you're between a rock and a hard place. Good teams are shortening the game with elite bullpens, we're prolonging them with awful sixth and seventh inning options. I mean Williams went matchup the entire seventh inning and they all got beat
Some of this goes back to the Stammen injury but Rizzo had time to address it.
That said, Williams could have brought in Fister in the sixth who probably would have been better than the seventh inning clown car. Also, I pinch hit for him unless I think Scherzer can do two innings. To blow an opportunity just to stall one inning...
