Snell has always been good dating back to his days with Tampa. The only thing with him was they never allowed him to pitch too many innings and it was frustrating to watch. Now he has blossomed into arguably the best pitcher in the National League. It was between him and Spencer Strider but I think last nights performance probably gives Snell the Cy Young.

Why they don't allow him to pitch many times? To give way to other pitchers?

i dont know if its desperate its the owners decisions right? like the redskins guy who wanted to win and overpaid guys for decades

i bet if you went back just 3 years and put snell and some other guys on that TB roster right now they would be +150 to win it all which is nuts for baseball
Now that they are showing everyone how good they are, big contract offers are soon to follow.

This was due to the Rays relying too heavily on analytics. Basically they didn't want their pitchers going through the lineup for the third time which meant around the fifth or sixth inning they pulled their starter even if he was throwing well. This happened in the World Series with Snell and burned the Rays in that game because the bullpen blew it.

Oh wow! that makes sense. This info is new to me, thanks JR.
