Until he's off this team, he's going to be used.

They're not going to sit him down on the bullpen and not use him.

I mean, they're just not.

They're not going to do that with anybody, given the way their rotation is.

I would have blown a gasket if Simeon Wood Richardson pitched in this game.

I would have come on here and flamed John all night if that was the case.

Yeah, and you may need – Big difference, right?

I mean, you don't know.

You may need two bulk arms tomorrow, too.

I mean, John's – That's fair.

You know, not –

I mean, not to keep hammering this, but there is no guarantee tomorrow night that Max is going to sail through five innings.

I mean, there just isn't.

So if you're John Schneider, you're probably thinking you want to keep a couple of arms available for tomorrow because you don't know how long.

I mean, it's entirely possible he doesn't make it out of the first inning.

You almost sound like you believe it.

No, I'm not.

I'm realistic.

Anything I get out of Max Scherzer is gravy right now.

One inning.
