That said, I'm not sure about Greinke in Game 4. He looked like dogshit in Game 1, and the Yankees would be all over him again.

I love great pitching and Cole is delivering for me. Fuck these “bullpen games”. Give me a guy who needs to go all the way. If not for a couple of long AB’s earlier in the game that ended in walks, you would see Cole in the 8th.

The key with him would be that, unless he's exceptionally sharp, not to send him out there for a third time through. That's when he really spit the bit

You definitely use Greinke if he is on full rest, same with Verlander, and the same with Tanaka for NY. If the series is still going, they will need a bullpen game in game 6 then, but still the way to go.

ESPN radio (Buster) reporting that Stanton may get pulled from the ALCS roster and that his replacement would be Tauchman. If the Yankees do this, Stanton cannot return for the WS.
