If Whitlock had been used as a starter, he might have been on a 100-120 IP limit.
There was a while people were worried Barnes was on pace for 80 IP- career high, but on closer inspection, since he's been doing so well, he's facedless batter and throw less pitches than his normal pace.
I've been against the 14 man staff, all year, but now, I think we may need 15, even with tomorrow off.
Maybe the extra day or two of rest will help our starters. Assuming nobody gets skipped, this might be how our starters line-up:
OFF
@KCR Pivetta +1 days rest
@KCR Perez+1 (We could start Eovaldi on normal rest)
@KCR Eovaldi +1
OFF
@TBR ERod +2
@TBR Richards +2
@TBR Pivetta +1 (Could be Eovaldi- see above)
NYY Perez +1
NYY Eovaldi +1
NYY ERod
KCR Richards
KCR Pivetta
KCR Perez
KCR Eovaldi
