I’d agree with you if it wasn’t for Buck basically leaving the door open to him going north.
“Ask me after today,” Showalter said, “but I think he’s got a chance to make it a little tough on us. We’ll see.”
Buck also mentioned his makeup and him not being overwhelmed by the situation like some others may be.
There’s something special about today.
“Oh sure there is,” Showalter said. “If he wins the tie-breaker, I’m OK with that accusation. And he deserves it. The kid’s been through a lot.”

You think a hard innings cap precludes him from being injured again, at least for this year?
