It's ironic how big this game is too, right?
00:05
Because they're what, two games short of Arizona right now in that final wild card spot?
00:12
And boy, oh boy, if they win today, they're one spot going, the chances of him not missing
00:19
any more starts.
00:20
If he, let's say just pitches today and he only gets a couple of more starts down the
00:25
stretch here, is it enough to even be considered for the Cy Young here?
00:31
I mean, that's my big fear is that, are we running the risk of them not starting him
00:35
in games in late August?
00:37
And then if they're out of the race, then there's really no, you know, out of sight,
00:41
out of mind.
00:42
No?
00:43
Well, I mean, if I'm the GM of Pittsburgh and we fall out of it, you know, we're, I
00:48
don't know, six games behind at the end of August, then my job is not to protect schemes,
00:52
which is really your job anyway.
00:54
Now we can argue all day long, there's shutting down so many, there's the 40 innings limit
00:58
from one year to the next.
00:59
Does that really mean anything?
01:00
Every doc, they'll tell you something different.
01:02
But if you're a GM, you got to go by your convictions and your convictions is, Hey,
01:06
I got to shut him down.
01:07
You know, I got to make sure he's healthy.
01:09
You know, Hey, if schemes gets hurt this year in a meaningless game, you don't have a job
01:13
anymore.
01:14
All right.
01:15
You're toast.
01:16
Everyone's going to blame you.
01:17
Right.
01:18
Everywhere.
01:19
Whether it's your fault or not, everyone's blaming you.
01:20
So it does come down to that.
01:21
Yes.
01:22
And if I'm the GM, him winning the Cy Young doesn't do anything for me.
01:26
I need to make sure he's healthy for next year.
01:27
I probably do shut him down.
