And ofcourse they are taking him out

I’m fine with that if it leaves more in the tank for game 6.

[SeranthonySantander]

Teams leading 3 runs or more into the 9th are 344-0 in World Series history

[Jonn]

And its f***ing Varland lmao

[Jays24]

Why would waste Varland today?  Schneider man, f*** off

[rydermike]

What's the pitcher appearance record in the playoffs.

I don't see any way they pitch him 3 days in a row, that's why I expected him to go 3.

Maybe because he was already up and warming earlier.

Remember when some of us were "crying" for more Bassitt/Lauer from the pen?  You're welcome :) 

Bassitt should be the #1 option for starting games 7. I feel more comfortable with him than Scherzer

MOARRRRRRRR...

If they got him hot yea I get that. But you know they want to use him tomorrow in a most likely way bigger spot.

Use Fisher,  keep Dominguez,  Varland and Hoffman for tomorrow.  If Fisher don't do his job, yes u can bring Varland

He sat down but was brought back up.  There was never a reason for Varland to get "hot" so I dont buy that... Max is covering for JS like always lol.

Lauer, than Bassitt.  Cuz Ohtani and Freeman

[Fighting_Yeti]

Varsho about to make them pay.

[Omar]

Dave Roberts is quite dumb.  He may help us to win this series.

[neverbeenhere]

crowd is a non factor 

[Rynodb1]

Bassitt is a starter who's pitching well. There's zero reason he can't go 3 innings. 

In Schneider we trust... I think?

You're looking at that one play while im looking at his whole career lol.

You guys were talking about the ball being hit, not my fault you're a bird... 🦤🤷‍♂️

I don't even want the guy on the team, but Bo's hurt.

Unless he throws a ton of pitches I think Varland might still be used tomorrow.

[Omar]

Varland with 101 mph heater right in the ribs of somebody would be the cherry on the sundae.  

[ComeTogether]

3 to go 

Positive vibes guys!

Definitely ttonoorow would tie him for the record for most appearances. Then Game 6 the record

[Jonn]

The reason I feel Bassit should have stayed in. I doubt they would be willing to let him throw 3 straight days. So he was off tomorrow regardless. See if he can finish the game technically get a save. And you hold Louis back instead of having to use him a third straight day tomorrow. And we know he will be used tomorrow. Can he do it yes. But if you look at numbers who throw 3 straight days its not always a good time. Especially in leverage.

He will but his velocity dips when overused.  Hes not as effective when throwing softer.

Im talking Lauer for 3 ((ohtani and Freeman twice) then Bassitt for 3.  Piggyback.
