In game six of the 2020 World Series, Blake Snell was wheeling-and-dealing on the mound for the Rays who were holding on to a 1-0 lead over the Dodgers. But for a reason that still evades Snell and everyone else who was watching that game, the hot-handed pitcher was pulled from the game for Nick Anderson. Anderson would then go on to allow the Dodgers to score two runs, throwing just 12 pitches before being pulled with haste.
In a new article written by Snell for The Player’s Tribune, the 28-year old looks back on the moment with a loathing about what could have been had he been allowed to continue pitching.
