Initially, I had planned to write about Mike Shildt’s decision-making in the NLCS. He made some odd decisions, to my eyes; leaving Wainwright in longer than he should have, a potentially too-aggressive intentional walk in the deciding game, bringing Wainwright in mid-inning in the same game. But honestly, the Cardinals just got blitzed, and as much fun as it is to go through the math of some marginal decisions, I can’t bring myself to care too much about how efficient or inefficient Shildt was at a few coin flips while the team lost the series by an aggregate seventy-seven billion runs.
