re: ESPN: Starting Gausman for both games is controversial.

know you weren't responding to me , but Appel is a similar pitcher, and he was allowed to throw 150+ pitches in a game. No ESPN story on that.

The reason there is any talk is because of the break in between games. You do a full warmup in the pen, pitch, then have to somehow stay warm for an hour. It's worse for your arm to cool off and go again as opposed to doing a lot of pitches in one game.

Honestly, I think if KG had crossed 20 pitches in the first one, he wasn't pitching game 2. Which is why I thought it was dumb to pitch him in the 12th
