Why did Tigers' AJ Hinch ride Will Vest to the bitter end? Here's one thought
AJ Hinch's decision to keep Will Vest in the game during a critical moment has raised questions. Despite Vest's struggles, Hinch believed the matchup against the Angels' hitters justified his choice. The analysis suggests that the decision was more about matchups than pitch count.
- ▪Will Vest was brought in to protect a two-run lead but struggled in the eighth inning.
- ▪Vest's pitch count exceeded 30 without any action in the bullpen, which was unusual.
- ▪Hinch stated that he takes responsibility for the decision to keep Vest in the game.
