Did not see this happening....expected Rogers, but I can support this decision. Hyde is also leaving us really guessing here with the game two starter.....could we bring back Irvin for this?

Ewww. I hope not. Kremer and Eflin slotted for 2 and 3 I bet. I guess Hyde is making the decision based on how game 1 goes. We win - Kremer. We lose - Eflin?

Well Suarez won’t be on the playoff roster, it seems, because he wouldn’t be available again after the series ends.

i guess Hyde didn’t want him in the pen.

Win game 1, Kremer/Suarez game 2, win game 2, Eflin game 1 ALDS?

Win game 1, Kremer/Suraez game 2, lose game 2, Eflin game 3?

Lose game 1, Eflin game 2?

No excuses.

How is the extra hitter just "a possibility" for the WC roster?

If you can't get through 3 (at most) games with 12 pitchers, you're either doing something wrong or you desperately need to spend heavily on adding better pitchers in the offseason.

Irvin wouldn’t be eligible.

Let's just try to win 1 playoff game before we think about a 2nd round game.

Who says he is going more than 1 or 2 innings today?

Burnes can pitch game 2 and 5 in the ALDS if needs be. 
 

The game 1 starter in the ALDS only has to pitch in one game if needs be but they could start 2.

So yea, I think it’s possible you hold off Eflin in game 2 if you win game 1.

Now, if he waits to pitch on Saturday, they will be a long rest, so he could be rusty.

That’s a tough choice. You don’t want to open any windows for any other team.

Kremer has pitched well vs NY, so he could go twice too but I’m not sure Kremer is the ideal guy to go through the same lineup twice in 5 days. Kremer also hasn’t faced Det this year, so he would be “new” to them.  Eflin faced them a few weeks ago and pitched well.

No one, but why use him at all if he will be throwing in the series? Could more easily call someone up.
