00:00Tariq Skubal, of course, now with the Los Angeles Dodgers, seems to be throwing more pitches than ever with L
00:06.A.
00:06In fact, he threw 109 six days ago, 106 again most recently.
00:13And for whatever reason, either the L.A. is letting him go a little bit or he's having a harder
00:17time get through games, Tom.
00:18You make anything of this or is this just preparing to maybe pitch three times in a seven-game series
00:24in the postseason?
00:24What do you think?
00:26I don't make much of it now.
00:28Now, I want to see how he shapes up in the last week of September.
00:33Is he actually pitching that volume in September?
00:36Do they need him to pitch that volume in September?
00:38I would like to think that they try and scale back on him and all their pitchers, not just Skubal,
00:43all their pitchers are going to scale back on him and Yamamoto and Snell and Glass now is expected back.
00:49Are they just scaling back on them and only having them throw 80, 85 pitches in their final starts?
00:54Because if they need to throw 100 pitches, A, he's either struggling to get through the game or the Dodgers
01:00need to be winning games.
01:01But I just don't think will be the case.
