Remember 2017? Remember Springer's struggles? Remember the talk of moving him down or benching him? How did that turn out?
Is it for sure? I mean Severino is good, but Cole has historically been good on 3 days. And Cole will need to make 3 day start no matter it if goes 7 games. Why not do it in game 2 before off day for bullpen, and then have the ability to pitch game 7 on full rest or even earlier Game 6 on short rest again? Especially if Cortez definitely cannot make 2 starts in this series.
Yes, but no one is expecting him to be lights out. He should be expected to get a quality start. Still need to provide run support.
No we have to get #2 tomorrow. With this stupid format the MLB hasn’t changed going 1-1 loses home field advantage. Can’t take foot off the gas.
You know why. Maldy has hit poorly all season. So has Gurriel. McCormick is no Babe Ruth, and Pena is a rookie.
