Right.
We can't really get to the bullpen when we need to.
And the reason I knew that Dave was kind of locked in is when Kershaw had that, even though it was one out, Kershaw, they pulled him.
Immediately after that out, it's like, hey, we're done here.
And I even said after that, don't even let him pitch.
There's no reason to get him out there.
That's it.
He's redeemed himself.
Let him do the thing.
And in that moment, it's when you're making those sorts of decisions that some people are like, oh, well, that's kind of short-sighted because we still have the rest of this bullpen.
or bullpen game, I should say, then what are you going to do?
And it's like, no, Dave did this the right way.
Will Klein walked himself into probably a little bit of money after this season when he kind of gets to that point if he keeps pitching this way.
And that was also Dave trusting the guys and the feel of the game and going about it the right way.
For me...
You cannot sit here and tell me that there is anybody better right now than Dave Roberts.
And I did see some people on Twitter that were mad that Roberts wasn't up for the manager of the year.
Listen, man, they just won the World Series.
He's not going to be in consideration for that because they just won it a year ago and they just repeat it.
No, and listen, I think these two teams, I said this there, Gagne, I said it to Bimal, I'll say it to you again.
