Not if we are in a situation where we are up by 1 or 2 on a friday. Im sure if he only throws an inning or two on friday, he’ll be available once more that weekend. Problem is, we have had to go to him too early in every series, so he ends ip throwing 50-60 pitches anyway. Which again, basically makes him a tandem starter. Its incredibly valuable on the backend.
If it was guaranteed he could start and give us 6 innings of 1 run ball, maybe, but no guarantee he is successful as a starter

I'm not denying that he is valuable in that scenario. I just think at this point, he is more valuable giving you 5-6 innings pitched on Sundays. If Herring wasn't available to finish the game yesterday, how much confidence do you have that we win?

That is very valuable, but it screws you over on Sundays. We HAVE to win 2/3. Trying to piece together a Sunday pitching staff for the rest of the year isn't going to work.

We don't have a single pitcher on the roster that is guaranteed to do that.
