Stephen Vogt may win manager of the year for the American League in 2024, but did he have a bad playoffs?
With a little time to reflect, I want to offer some analysis of five big decisions Vogt had to make in the 2024 playoffs. I will provide a little in the way of conversational responses to a recent article from FanGraphs’ Ben Clemens who recently offered a managerial report card for Vogt’s performance in the ALDS and ALCS. The usual caveat applies: none of us know exactly what kind of inside information Vogt was provided on Guardians’ players and on their opponents.
