Topics[]

Pitching on short rest
Playoff bullpen management

Banter[]

Ben recaps his brief experience as a beat reporter covering the Yankees-Tigers ALCS. He is unsure if being at the game made his recaps significantly better.

Notes[]

Responses to Keith Law indicate that while data shows pitcher quality drop-off on short rest, players do not necessarily believe it.
Jim Leyland is hesitant to name a closer going forward in the rest of the ALCS.
Part of value of having a defined closer in the regular season is not having to constantly answer questions about it for several months.
