Good example of a manager eschewing analytics a very high leverage situation in last nights Ranger win.  Up 3-1 one out in 8th 1 on.  Ketel Marte slaughters lefties.  Bochy let Chapman, who is wildly inconsistent these days, pitch to him.  Primarily, I think, cause he didn’t want to use LeClerc for 5 outs. 

All the data said don’t let Chapman pitch to Marte.  Bochy ignored it.  Took guts.  Massive second guessing if things go south.  Marte hit it hard, but an inning ending DP.  

Tough night though for Rangers.  Bullpen beat up.  Scherzer hurt.  And worse, Garcia looks like he hurt his oblique.  

Rangers might  have won the game and lost the series last night.
