If CORE-y Seager keeps hitting Homers...

Then the Diamondbacks won't win either Game 4 or 5. Which means the Series ends. Which means there won't be a Game 6. Which means I can't go to it.
Though Reuben Sierra and Rusty Greer will finally be able to celebrate.

Yea I'm thinking in 5.
Why isn't anyone asking why game 4 was a "bullpen" game for the Diamondbacks? It's disgusting they used that in the World Series.
Did they think it would work out? It's a stupid system. I even dislike it in the regular season. Get a starter in there instead of an opener. I doubt the Rangers would have scored 10 if there was a starter in there. Instead of Mantiply as an opener followed by the bullpen.
You NEEDED a good starter, who has the experience and stamina to do that. As well as give your bullpen a rest.

I can see the logic in it. Sacrifice a game throwing all your weaker arms so you can maximize the leverage of the guys you DO trust. It's not a strategy I'd normally use (especially at home) because Wins are so valuable that to just throw one away seems foolhardy.
But if it works, it works. We'll see. I have no problem with teams using unorthodox methods (within the rules, 2017 Astros!) if they think it gives them a competitive advantage in the long run.
