Even if Rodon can't throw upper 90s you still gotta put him on the roster. He's still been effective with the lower velocity and is way more useful than someone like Marshall. You honestly can't even throw Marshall in a close playoff game.

If he can give you at least 60 pitches and keep his fastball at/above 90, you have to have him on the playoff roster. It's not like Burr or Marshall or Ruiz or whoever you'd replace him with is going to be worth anything.

Bank on him going 3 innings but hope they are quick innings and he can go longer.

Rodon for 3 and Kopech for 3 is a good combo. Just need the other 3 starters to go long enough that you can hand it off to Tepera/Bummer/Kimbrel/Hendriks without needing Kopech in any of those games.

Kopech should be able to go 1 inning in game 1, and then 3 innings in game 3 IMO.

That’s 4 innings to cover. Kopech could have one of them.

I think the plan is to have Tepera-Bummer-Kimbrel-Hendriks be the 6th-7th-8th-9th inning guys.

Tepera and Bummer could be swapped given whether more lefties are expected to bat in the 6th or 7th.

I don't see Kopech in Game 1 or 2 unless the starter gets in trouble before the 6th or if one of the back end bullpen guys gets in trouble.
