Also, what in the frick was the plan for Fried this series? Guy is arguably our second best pitcher and he's only appeared in 3 separate 1 inning relief outings. Why? Sure would have been nice having him start a game 4 today instead of Keuchel on short rest.

He’ll be in the rotation if we advanced I’d have to believe. Just have to get past jack Flaherty first.

To start game 4 until Chris Martin pulled his oblique. That wrapped up and put a bow on any ideas of him starting. The reason he was pushed off and then scratched from any of those ideas was because his RHH splits if he's seeing the time more than twice is garbage and he is another of the multiple guys for the Braves that can't go third time through without damage most of the time.
(I can't explain Keuchel outside of wanting to gamble with Soroka on the road, which they did win on, and it probably should have won the series)
Yeah in a long season, more innings is more valuable, but if you put it in the perspective of the playoffs, you see guys with big stuff that start in the regular season relieve plenty then, then you'd likely have been seeing a lot more High Leverage Luke if you don't abandon the idea of Fried starting because with a RHH heavy lineup, the idea of choosing Newcomb to be the "7th Inning Guy" was not happening, and your other choices are not that soothing for that spot.
