I am not even kidding here ... what keeps Ned Yost from using Wade Davis in game 5 like the Giants used Bumgarner last year?
Say it's top 6 ... we're up 2-1 ... and Cueto puts guys in 1st and 2nd with 1 out ...
why would Ned let Davis go until his wheels fell off? Are you telling me that badass couldn't do it? And worse case scenario ... come the 8th, Davis walks 2 guys and looks gassed ... do we suddenly not have Herrera / Madson / Duffy / Hochever available? Obviously not ideal ... but you're telling me Herrera couldn't pitch 4 innings in that spot?
I'd use Davis like the Cubs will use Arrieta in game 5. Plan on Davis pitching 9 outs ... 7, 8 and 9. No ****ing joke. That's how DOMINANT Wade Davis is. And he pitched 2 innings like it was nothing today. There is no reason that badass mother ****er couldn't get you 9 outs in an elimination game.
