    It doesn't work like that man . You're making a counterfactual statement. If the game is closer Minnesota might use different pitchers , throw different pitches , our approach at the plate is different .

    Why would the game likely have been ours (looking at it then, not now)? Santana was pitching really well outside of a HR. Even if you take Peacock out after just a few of the hits, it's probably 2-2 at best in the bottom of the 5th inning. Again, virtually ALL of our games are competitive in the 5th inning - we're not used to it because we've never been this good, but teams like ours can't play every inning and every game like it's a must-win. At some point, you have to use your roster.

    It's not any more counterfactual than assuming saving your bullpen for tomorrow or the next day will be of greater benefit.

    When your team is so good. Discussions like these are pointless.

    Glad Hinch saved his high leverage relievers as he is going to need them unless Altuve busts this game open.
