He eliminated 1/2 the bullpen.

I'm not referring to the talent level, I'm talking about how to deploy the talent he's got. 

EDIT:  I think you meant that avoiding the bums is a key part of his management, in the playoffs I agree with that.

First WS. Understandable.

Sure sure, just looks extra strange next to Soto's now-studious approach.

Nolan Ryan does not look pleased behind the plate.

Maybe.  I would never guess that he would be pressing, even in the World Series.  But maybe he has a lot of folks in the stands since he went to Rice and he wants to impress them. 

Sometime the "coolest" cat tries too hard to be cool.

I get it. Tony got us here with his play in the post season so far so I’m willing to give him a pass on this one.

Plus, I’m secretly his mom, so....  :lol:

Hudson and Doolittle each going 4 outs seems reasonable if it goes as planned.

Hudson and Doolittle.  Maybe Doolittle comes in with 1 or 2 outs in the 8th.
