    Considering a fracture could have been the end of his season, this is good news.

    Still considering if there will be a DL stint but I’m guessing it’s be from the 10th if they do put him there

    New schedule for playoffs:

    first round starts September 30th, 3 games straight at home stadium

    DS and CS would be in Texas and there’s no days off throughout the series. So 5 and then 7 straight games. Gonna be way different, gonna test pitching depth and stamina of hitters

    No off days is a huge deal. We are now talking about a 5-man rotation: Kershaw, Buehler, May, Gonsolin, Urias - and that's IF everyone is healthy. I guess everyone will have to deal with the same thing, so it's not necessarily the end-all for us. There will be a huge advantage for the teams that can finish off their series quickly.

    There will be 2 scheduled off-days during the WS.

    Manfred also said he hopes fans will be able to attend the LCS's and WS, which sounds like a joke but it's not.

    i do think it’s an advantage for us, but I still don’t like it. Our #2 might not be better than others but I’d take our 4-5 over many teams. And what our bullpen lacks in elite 7-9 inning reliever, it makes up in having many good (not great) relievers. Years past we’ve gotten burnt by teams who get by with basically 2 starters and 2 relievers, and now those teams can’t do that anymore, whereas our “strength” is in being able to have multiple good arms

    I'm just worried about injury with this starting rotation. If someone goes down you are looking at a Wood/White/Bullpen start, which is probably still as good as most team's #5 starter, but still worrisome. I think some teams will be in position to push their stud pitchers on short rest, which I don't think will be an option for us with no one stretched out. But you're probably right that this actually plays to our strength.

    It is weird to see such a big strategical change to the playoffs announced so late in the season.

    Oh yeah worrying about injury is valid, although they could turn it into a bullpen game or even a minor league stud but same could be said for every team. Everyone’s scared of the Padres and their #4 and #5 are Paddack and Richards (who both aren’t good) and one injury away from who knows

    Does anyone know, is Josiah Gray, or other alt-training site players, available for the postseason if they are not on the 40-man roster?
