    Maton really needs to be pitching 2 innings?

    He hit 3 HR's in game 1 ALDS vs Boston in 2017. Two were against Chris Sale. Got to go to that game and was pretty awesome.

    Maton is the weak link.

    Maton is a painful watch.

    Maton’s curve has some nice movement to it

    I don't think I want Maton on the playoff roster.

    On the bright side this renders Maton unavailable for a while, and he still got the job done.

    Maton K’s all 3 outs. Weak link got stronger.

    Haven't thought through it, but for at least the 1st round of the postseason the Garcia/Maton/Martinez bullpen decision is an interesting one.

    I totally get why they've been yo-yoing Martinez instead of burning Maton's last option year in the last 2 months of the season.
