In-Game Decisions Lacking in Playoffs? | Locked On Rays

The Rays have being eliminated from the playoffs since almost a week ago but still so many questions remain.
1. Why the long leash with both Tyler Glasnow and Zach Eflin ?

2. Why was there no usage of their best high leverage arms in the bullpen like Robert Stephenson and Pete Fairbanks?

3. Why did Manuel Margot not get pinch-hit for a lefty like Jonathan Aranda in Game 2 with a possible rally brewing against Jose LeClerc?

4. Did Taylor Walls need to start BOTH games at SS even though he has less than average stats against right-handed pitching (.179 AVG, 72 wRC+) such as Nate Eovaldi?

Are there any other head scratching moves or non-moves that you found in both Game 1 & Game 2 for the Rays? Let us know in the comments.
