Don't understand this move. I'd understand it if you were thinking about bringing him back for a possible game 4 but we have 4 good starters and Marco will get plenty of rest.

Makes sense technically. But shouldn't have even sent him out for the 9th.

I think it's funny. People criticize Showalter for managing for a save, but then want Gibbons to manage for the CG.

You have seen what happened to Osuna over pitching He's done his job.

Yeah because Estrada has never gone over 100 pitchers before :shakehead

He wasn't even closer to being overworked to get 2 more outs. He was barely worked. 10 more pitches would have had him around a normal outing

The extremely odd chance that game 2/3/4 go long and they will use one of their starters in extras or something is the only thing I can think of.

It's a very risk averse move.. I get it but it's a bit much.

But Marco's previous back injury make me weary of pushing him past 100 pitches.
