For example, their ace Takahashi, or the guy who blanked Taiwan earlier in the tournament Saiki, were on 3 and 2 days rest respectively. Could they have not given JP an IP in this critical game? I know Buehler closed the WS for the dodgers after 1 day rest and he was in worse shape than Takahashi or Saiki health wise having just recently returned from TJ. I’m not saying JP would’ve kept the game 1-0 after 5 if the manager had managed the pitching MLB style. 7/2
