Not even just that, but the inning fell apart so fast that it's impossible to get someone up. This isn't MLB the Show on PS5. The inning goes strikeout, infield single, walk that could have been a strikeout/double play. Which one of those at bats are you immediately telling someone to get ready? Then it's a double and another infield single on six total pitches. He's still one grounder away from the inning being over and certainly nobody you got up is ready in 6 pitches spanning maybe 5 minutes of real time. Then the home run happens. It sucks that it all went down like that but there is no manager alive who's getting someone up in time to avoid the home run, if there even would have been a different outcome with a different pitcher.
