re: Skenes is a competitor and would love to help win it all...

I think the most he'll be used is relief on Thursday if we get that far but it wouldn't shock me to see him on the mound for at least starting and a few innings. Maybe a tight pitch count of like 60.

He's a big strong dude who doesn't have much wear on his arm. He probably can be full strength on 4 days rest but I agree they're not going to want to risk his career. Skenes might will himself into doing it though and not care because the dude is a warrior.
