Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2330435, member: 1969"] I don't think they need elite pitching. Average 5 innings a start and keep the ERA at 4.00 or below, and the bullpen might be good enough to bring you home. With all these days off, teams with deep pens can really ride them. Now the Indians also have a great bullpen, but since they have great starters they might make the opposite mistake and that is keeping them into too long. In the regular season with only a few off days a month, its important to get 7 innings from your starters fairly regularly. But that is not necessarily the case for teams with deep bullpen. Unless your starter is dynamite, there may be no reason to keep them much longer than 6 in this series. [/QUOTE]
