1. Let’s win this is 3 just to be safe

2. I am a fan of this move actually.

3. I’m ok with this. Dudes a gamer. As long as he can get in a few innings he can pitch for the ALCS. Say it’s a blowout game 2 or something and you being Jameson in for 3-4 innings save the bullpen. All for it.

   Booney could also have seen what happened with Tampa and Cleveland with that 15 inning game.

4. So…

   G1 – Cole

   G2 – Nestor

   G3 – Sevy

   Potential G4 – ?

   Potential G5 – ?

5. Also could be a smoke screen but i doubt it

6. Since both German and Taillon are in the bullpen, per Boone, our ALDS rotation is:

   G1 Cole
   G2 Cortes
   G3 Severino
   G4 Cole (regular rest)
   G5 Cortes (short rest)

   Preferably this won’t go five games.

   I’m excited to see how Taillon looks out of the pen. I’ve always thought he’d be an excellent reliever, just airing it out with his two best pitches. It makes me feel better about the shape of the bullpen to have the two extra arms in there.

7. Will Taillon’s stuff play well in the pen?

8. Jesus I forgot Taillon even existed, has he been injured or something?

9. Makes sense…Nestor and Jamo game 5 if needed

10. Taillon has a 4.78 ERA in the first inning. Idk if I like this

11. Something about Jamo is he has come up very huge in starts where we’ve needed him to. I trust him if he comes into a close came out of the BP. He pitches with some massive balls.

12. I like this… i was a little worried about the bullpen…

13. Make him the closer, you cowards!!

14. Do you *have* to declare a guy as a starter or reliever for a postseason series? If not why not just keep those cards close to your chest

15. If we’re up 2-1 going into Game 4, I think I would rather see Taillon and German combine start that game. Give the bullpen a break in case we win, and let Cole start Game 5 if necessary, or Game 1 ALCS.
