You've spent half your Sunday giving the same reason. You said because he might get injured. Might get injured. Your reason was, is and I'm sure will continue to be that he might get injured.
Yes there are reasons why a coach might pull a player in that situation, but because he might get injured is the reason you gave and what this mind-numbing conversation had been about all day.
And yes, again, if you would honestly pull Machado today, in the middle of an epic and possibly historic performance, and the reason you gave is that he might get injured...then I think that's a prick move and more about you than anything else.
That's my opinion and why I've been responding this way.
I'm done too.
