I'm assuming the hook will be swift with Greinke, depending on the score. If he gets banged around early, or he gets through the order twice, he's pulled. Then we'll see Cole, and he's gonna throw as long as he's effective, which, frankly, I expect would be awhile. He's a physical horse, he seems to lean into the pressure of the post season, and he's looking for his first ring. I could see the guy summoning his inner '99 Pedro and being damn good for more than an inning or two (ok, maybe not THAT good, but still, very effective).
I will ask this, though: he's about to get PAID...does that enter his mind when he's asked how much he can give? Because I assume he's never thrown 105 pitches and then been asked to pitch multiple, high leverage innings on two days rest, and he's got to have, in the back of his mind, a tiny thought about injury sneaking in. I wonder if he gives any voice to that thought.
