    I know it’s early, but this is the concern when someone isn’t on their normal rest.

    107 wins, two glaring weaknesses: no reliable starters after Greinke and an unpredictable bullpen.

    Averages say we should win, but the randomness of a postseason series makes this a harder task (especially when 4 starters aren't hitting anything).

    Damn, a walk too.

    Concerning considering limited rest for JV. Last thing he needs is a high PC early.

    ETA- now another hit. Concerned

    Strommy should take a walk out there.
    JV is either not in the zone or in the middle of the plate.

    Who would have pitched today if JV was on regular rest?

    Damnit it doesn't look like Verlander has it. This could get ugly fast.

    This is why I hate starting guys on short rest.

    eta: unless out of desperation

    He’s off. We’re going to need something from the bullpen, and we can’t go toe to toe with theirs. I’m still not that worried.
