I would hate to lose an elimination game leaving my ace on the bench.....



and starting Kershaw is the easy thing to do. No one is gonna say shite if they start Kershaw. The problem is the win this game first mentality is not correct when you could get two different performances out of the starter.

You basically have to start Urias in game 4 or 5, so why not do it game 4 and give Kershaw the chance in game 5 on full rest. Either way Urias will have to pitch in an elimination game, so that aspect is out the window too.

I know it's not exactly apples to apples, but this kind of goes to the Showalter thing last week. I think 95% of the MSB thought he was brain dead for not using Britton around the 9th. Baloo made a decent point in response that at some point you need to save the game to win the game, so keeping Britton on ice wasn't all that egregious, and the same result would likely have happened as they would have just burned out Britton in the 9th/10th.
