I think the front office is hands on with a lot of the line up decisions being made to be honest. I wouldn't be surprised if they have pretty set protocols when it comes to pitch counts with the starters too, or at least how many times each guy can pitch through a batting order, stuff like that.
Other than Ryu though, our starters actually kind of suck. Hopefully Taijuan Walker keeps doing what he's doing too, because I have very low confidence in any of Roark, Anderson, Stripling, Ray or even Shoemaker when he comes back. I certainly wouldn't be very confident with any of those guys starting a playoff game at this point. Things can change though I guess.
