Yet they have already decided to stick with a 5 man rotation for now so no idea why you're laughing haha. Like I said, the rest would come at the expense of Scherzer/Bieber taking the mound less.
They would have gone with the 6 man rotation if thats what they wanted to do. They already did the hard part by removing Lauer from the rotation for now.
Things will change if there is an injury or continual underperformance from Bassitt/Berrios imo.
Maybe you haven't realized that our 2 most important starters are Beiber and Scherzer who have already had more than enough rest. They dont need extra time off to show theyre ready for the playoffs.
The guys who need the rest are either going to be in the bullpen or off the playoff roster :).
No, Bieber needs as many starts to build up for the postseason. Same with Scherzer.
The guys who need rest are the ones who probably won't be starting much for us in the postseason.
I'll disagree... team needs to be ramping up starters for the postseason. The weakest links will either be working out of the bullpen to get ready for their role in the postseason or get ready to be off the postseason roster all together.
0 chance team goes to a 6 man rotation with all the days off in our schedule. We need to be maximizing our top starters, not giving them 7 days off in between starts.
Ya its the easy decision personality wise rather than go with what's actually best for the team.
It is good for the team to finally have a long man rather than burn so many arms in games where the starter is pulled early.
