I still cannot believe Hinch panicked and pulled Greinke. A home run to a guy who was blazing hot, and a walk that could have easily been a backwards K. Those are not worth taking out a guy with 76 pitches who was absolutely dominating.

I agree, though we'll never know how Greinke was. He may have felt something twang. Also Hinch had no way of knowing his entire pitching staff was going to turn into a bonfire at the worst moment possible.

Don't these a-holes insure themselves and do this as a publicity stunt? My impression is they wind up with a small loss whoever wins but eat it for the viral story. CBS is just doing their advertising for them for free; it's probably a paid story.

Planet Money covered Mattress Mack. In 2017 insurance covered him for like 5 of the 13 million he was going to lose. Then he used gambling to hedge and was able to recoup most of the remaining 8 million.

Looks like he really got into the gambling part of it this year.

With a net worth of $300 mil I guess he could afford to lose the 13.
