Been out of commission for a couple weeks here...wife just had a baby.

We should assume Max is pitching at some point tonight, right? The report said he won't start.

How many pitches did he throw Thursday? Maybe an inning or a couple batters.

He’s talking about Scherzer.

He’s talking about Scherzer.

Ah, that makes more sense. Wouldn't they just save him for game 7?

 

[zjcvols]

Buehler on three days?

 

[LotteryPick]

We covering today or nah

If he can’t pitch today, tomorrow won’t make much difference IMO

 

[AV_12]

They can’t take his spot tho because he would miss the World Series I believe

What’s the line?

It’s possible he could pitch in some capacity tomorrow but the above is why they aren’t dropping him.

Plus they added Price for Kelly so fresh arm there.

I think their goal is to try and go two times through with Buehler (and Urias) in games 6/7 and pray to the gods they rake

 

[zjcvols]

I’m not blaming Max. He’s 37, he’s gonna be a FA and he has a ton of miles on that arm. Gotta put your health first. But I’m shocked he’s not even gonna try.

 

[LotteryPick]

What’s the line?

-25 now

 

[LotteryPick]

I need dog Ian and I need it TERRIBLY

Yes we cover

We need 5 tonight. If the curveball isn’t working, ditch it and just get through 5 with the fastball/change.

I’m fine with 4 good innings. If he posts 0-1 and takes an AB, that’s a win.

 

[C/O]

Treat tonight like it’s game 7. Buehler on short rest. I’m pushing all my chips to the center.

I dont hate it. Be aggressive AF with pitching moves today.

Agree. Minter or Matzek can go two if need be
