I think they have to get Buehrle into a couple meaningless innings in the next 2 games. So close to being tied for 3rd all time in MLB history for consecutive innings.
They left him out probably 2 innings more than they would normally tonight; you'd think that was to get him closer to that, so he can come in middle relief maybe Sunday (or hope for an blowout tomorrow or Sunday (win or lose)) and insert him in there. It's tough with a starter and their routine and they need him rested for the playoffs etc etc, but such a milestone this close, and many of the players talking about wanting him to get to that 200 inning mark, you have to think it's certainly a possibility.
