Anderson threw 76 pitches, only 39 for strikes and only 20 in the strike zone. That plus the lame duck NL rules like Markus said and it was the right choice.
The Braves manager is probably the most old school in the majors so if he pulled him there citing how many pitches that dangerous lineup was able to see from him then I'm assuming every manager would've made the same decision.

Wow! ATL erases a 2-1 deficit with back to back solo shots. 3-2 game.

Go Houston!
Rolling out the red carpet for The Insurrectionist was the last thing I saw from the World Series this year. Have fun with that.

Fox smartly didn't show a lot of it, but the Braves put on a Trump show last night. Despicable, intentionally divisive stuff.

Astros tied it at 4, then Freeman leads off the 3rd with a solo shot. 5-4.

I still think, the Braves win. Both teams in what is now the norm, have burned through their bullpens. They both have to b e exhausted, but the Braves have Fried and Anderson and if one can give them a solid, extended start, it may be the fifference.

Monster 3-run shot by Soler to open the scoring in game 6. Over the train tracks.
