Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona hasn't had a significant managerial decision backfire on him in the playoffs, a trend/narrative that wasn't slowed when the World Series shifted to Clark and Addison.
Case in point in the Indians’ 1-0 win over the Cubs in Game 3 of the World Series Friday night at Wrigley Field: Francona pulled starter Josh Tomlin, who only threw 58 pitches and had scattered just three baserunners, with two outs in the fourth. Andrew Miller entered and struck out three in 1 1/3 innings, but was replaced in the top of the seventh for pinch-hitter Coco Crisp, who delivered the go-ahead and ultimately game-winning single off Cubs reliever Carl Edwards Jr.
