There’s plenty of upcoming rest days and the rotation has the volume currently to push… but there are more bullpen pieces today vs yesterday, so plenty of options both ways.
Agree with this. He doesn’t strike out enough hitters to be walking the amount he does to pitch out of the pen in the playoffs.
Again, they're going to a 5-man rotation for a while and Brown pretty much said Blanco's the guy going to the pen
Agreed, Blanco just didn’t have good movement on his pitches. I would have shut him down after 4 and 76 pitches.
I'd be surprised if he has a meaningful role, but they'll probably keep him on for long relief ala Urquidy. He's still been effective for the most part, and I trust him more than Seth Martinez to give 3 effective innings in October.
