Hinch is extending the young starters another inning because he doesn't want to kill his bullpen. I guess I don't blame him. It backfired yesterday but with Skubal pitching tomorrow, you need to keep this close to at least give your offense a shot.
If the rest of the season is about testing young players, it's also about disposing of vets who won't be here long term. Clear the freaking decks for whatever young players deserve the opportunity.
Now the game is out of reach for this offense. The pitching isn't the problem yet. But I think they are a bit overextended with the injuries and absences.
