This assumes that the game goes completely the same way other than Duffey pitching the 6th instead of Alcala. Ramirez/Lindor/Santana would definitely come up again, but the situation may not be those three leading off the inning in a 2-1 game. I agree that Alcala has earned a shot at an expanded role, but high leverage against the best three hitters Cleveland has with a one run lead and Duffey available is certainly ripe for second guesses. With all that said, I didn't mind giving the kid a shot in a regular season game with a 20-10 record. I think Rocco and Co. are playing the long game. Hopefully, Alcala will have a positive response to the bad showing. Next time, he'll have less nerves and more mound presence. He certainly has the stuff to be good in that role.
