In the MLB postseason, you absolutely cannot afford to let opportunities go to waste — especially in an elimination game. Terry Francona and the Cleveland Guardians may regret that after Tuesday’s Game 5 of the ALDS against the Yankees.
Francona (and really, the Guardians replay coordinator Mike Barnett) had a rough Game 4, missing both of his challenges on obvious calls at first base. That could’ve had Francona more reluctant with his replay challenges in Game 5, but to not even take a look at an obvious missed call? It was curious, to say the least.
