Throwing 131 pitches and taking the ball five days later? That’s September baseball, Alex Cobb said: “We’re in playoff mode.”
SAN DIEGO — It was a couple weeks ago, in Philadelphia, that Alex Cobb felt the tide of the Giants’ season turn. The temperature dropped. Football was on the televisions in the clubhouse. Gone were the dog days; the final push for the postseason was here.
Five days later, he will take the mound again Sunday for the finale of the Giants’ four-game series against the Padres. Kapler pushed the boundaries of his comfort zone by pushing Cobb — and Kyle Harrison — to season- or career-highs in pitches in their last outings. After throwing 91 over 6⅓ shutout innings against the Reds, Harrison took the ball on four days’ rest Saturday against San Diego.
Kapler said after Cobb’s near-no-no that they would consider giving him an extra day of rest. Whatever thought process there was, it didn’t make its way to Cobb. He saw Sunday’s game on the schedule and figured he was starting. With September comes the aches and pains of the season entering its sixth and final month. But for the GIants
“If you look at it like a marathon, I think a marathon would look at the last quarter mile or whatever they’ve got and start to ramp it up a little bit, dig a little deeper, push a little harder, knowing that you can empty the tank,” Cobb said. “I think that’s what September does for guys.”
