GDT 8/6/20 Lineup with a Greek God

This tie sits squarely on Snit. Touki should have been pulled after retiring Biggio, or when he retired Grichuk. The only reason it was ok for him to face the LHHs Shaw/Panik/McGuire the 2nd time is because his pitch count was so low and the Jays would have PH for those guys vs Matzek. Once he got past Bichette he should have never been allowed to face the top half LHHs...regardless of the fact he was "cruising".
 
This game is especially frustrating because I hoped Snit was past this kind of thing. These types of poor decisions are exactly how the Braves are going to lose playoffs games. They can't happen if the Braves hope to piecemeal their way to cobbling together a rotation.
 
I love that Toussaint was overextended to protect the bullpen ... thereby ensuring additional, unnecessary innings for the bullpen by allowing the game to get tied up. Some real strategery by Snit.
 
My strategy would be to score this inning. Let’s see what the Braves go with.
