Yes, during their winning streak, they had great chemistry. No-name guys were stepping up & no matter how far the Dodgers were behind, they knew they were going to pull it out. Nothing personally against Granderson, but why take out hot hitters & replace them with a .200 hitter & change the winning attitude.
Momentum and chemistry is something that cannot be found in any statistic. Which is why IMO you can't play baseball by numbers. You don't take a starting pitcher out just cause it's the seventh inning or he's thrown 90x pitches. You don't change pitchers to match lefty lefty, righty righty. etc. When it aint broke you don't fix it.
