    I've been thinking that same thing for awhile, have we even tried to bunt on that guy?

    Well, game 2 would be normal rest from his last start. The Save was just his normal bullpen session between starts... probably harder on him than a normal bullpen session, but it's not like throwing 100 pitches in a start.

    CK went on a 2 month and a half month " vacation ", hell, he probably wants to start every other game and relieve in between

    im just a huge Julio fanboy that feels he deserves that slot especially in a 7 game series

    Wouldn't that be short rest for Julio too given he pitched a few innings yesterday? 3 days rest?

    The youngster might need it more than CK.

    We still need a Game 4 starter. Julio is the one guy who has a pitch count/innings count.

    Yesterday was his normal bullpen session so it makes sense. Have to have a split. Maybe they are trying the Hershiser approach who knows, all I know is Doc is playing with house money.

    It sounds like that wasn't their big picture plan, but once the genie is out of the bottle you can't put it back in.

    I didn't want to say anything about the 1988 vibe but someone already broached the subject so I guess I'll keep thinking that and HOPING :pray: for a repeat.

    Essentially yeah but that throw is shorter than the throw from near the plate or vicinity.

    just seems like thats to quick but if you don't count last night you're right
    agree DR is on a roll right now but isn't it great having a guy who takes chances?

    Sure but he is at a standstill on the mound, running after a bunted ball and then throwing to 1st, could get interesting but we don't seem to bunt for hits very often.

    Edit: He has no errors this season. Oh well I'm trying to get an advantage but the stats don't back it up :facepalm::smh:
