I have a different opinion. I think the choice was probably 50/50 given the situations that Swanson faced this year. He wasn't ever asked to get the best lefty hitter in baseball out with 2 on in the 9th, most of his outings were medium leverage, or during extra innings of tied games. Alvarez is better against righties than lefties.
I thought Ray would be a much better option out of the pen. It didn't work out against one of the best hitters in baseball. He threw 2 bad pitches in a row.
Did it with our no, is it as stupid of a decision as some are making it out to be, in my opinion it isn't.
You guys can agree to disagree, or you can be ass holes by saying I'm "sucking off" to someone...
