One of Lauer or Bassitt would be a great wrinkle to throw at the Mariners lineup at this point. You could even surprise the top of their order with that matchup.
It won't happen. They used Bassitt in the game 1 blowout and must not have liked what they saw? I don't really get it either, especially since Schneider clearly trusts almost nobody in the bullpen at this point, aside from Varland.
The WS would be October 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 31, Nov 1
Yesavage, Gausman, Bieber, Scherzer, Yesavage, Gausman, Bieber
I get what you mean, but you'd then have Trey as the WS G7 secret weapon
Anyway, gotta do whatever it takes to win tonight even if that means Jose Berrios has to start two games in the WS
