Quote from: mocat on July 02, 2014, 01:37:03 PMdo you guys think going deep in games is more or less important in the playoffs? i guess *everything* is more important in the playoffs but my point is, pitch counts certainly are less important. i'm not worried about blowing somebody's arm out if he's finished with 7 scoreless innings and he's at 108 pitches. i'm trotting that MF out there for the 8th 10 times out of 10 if it's the playoffs.the bullpen is a strength of the royals, but with a 5-game series, you can't just use davis + holland 5 straight days, so you want a guy out there who has demonstrated his ability to go deep.1. Vargas 6.594 innings per start1. Guthrie 6.5943. Shields 6.4564. Ventura 5.8735. Duffy 5.827btw, it is incredible that all 5 of our starters are THAT good at pitching deep into gamesyeah, i don't give an eff about pitch counts in the playoffs. i just care about their ability to continue to be effective as the pitch count adds up. vargas has been really consistent and effective late in games. if he could go seven strong give up 2 or less and hand it to davis and holland to close it out, i would take it every time.

Vargas also became the first Royals left-hander to win eight games or more before the All-Star break since Chris George in 2003.
