re: Jay’s Gamble with Skenes Paid Off

Since we're playing the "what if" game, what happens if Hurd starts game 1 and we lose? We're F'd, bc then we would have an uphill battle that our pen is not built for. Yes we would still have Skenes for game 2, but don't forget even after that we would still have to take 2 more games for the win.

You have to look at probability and risk assessment, which is what JJ did. Winning game 1 was priority. I just don't know why this concept is hard to understand.
