I remember Tommy in the early 80’s keeping Fernando in no matter what even as he was approaching 150 pitches.

And then with Hershiser in the late 80’s doing similar and then pitching him again on 3 days rest.

Agree it is a tough call either way. If we were in May, and not the first week of the season, Kersh would have pitched a perfect game today, absolutely no doubt in my mind..
