Extend the game for as long as you can. Never understood keeping your best arms on the bench in situations like this.

I don't think people ever keep their best arms on the bench in this situation. The book says go to Britton. I'm just saying in this situation I may have gone against the book.

The alternative would have been for the offense to let Weaver mow them down, throwing 8 innings of 1-run ball.

If we hadn't knocked Weaver out early, we wouldn't even be in this game.

Understood, I'm just pointing out how illogical it is for people to obsess about running up the pitch count when the pitcher in question is eminently hittable.

The Yankees did the last time we played them. Same situation and they brought in some scrub with a high 4 ERA and Robertson was out in the pen resting his rear end.
