Could we hold Skenes and see how the game starts?If we are up then keep him in your back pocket to shut them down if it comes to it and pray our bats catch up? Leave him with the ability to start Saturday.

Who else are you gonna pitch? Everyone is on low rest. You're probably only getting 4 innings max from Hurd and Guidry combined. You cant use Money, Little, Collins, and Dutton in an elimination game. No one else is available

Let Skenes get you to the finals, figure it out from there.

The moment I read hear me out, I knew this was going to be a bad take.

It’d be a crap shoot. If it’d work we’d be screaming genius. If not, the rant would want him tarred and feathered.

My approach is:
1-2 skenes
3 from Hurd
1-2 from Guidry
1-2 from Cooper

Otherwise…

are we expecting a full outing from Skenes? Not a bad idea if he can only go 50-60 pitches or something on short rest.

You try to keep as much the same as possible. By starting him, his warmup and approach to the game are exactly the same as a normal start, it’s just in a few days less rest. Only things you do differently is have him on a pitch count and pay very close attention to his control.

I would love it to work, but it doesn’t work unless you can get multiple innings out of Money and/or Little.

What’s the harm in it? Bases loaded in the first? Ok bring Skenes in.

0-0 in the 4th and bases loaded? Ok bring Skenes in.

Get to the finals and figure it out from there. Skenes gives you the best odds to get to championship series.
