I literally don't remember a prior game starter who went 6+ innings pitching the next day in a deciding game. I'm probably wrong, and I didn't follow baseball as much in the 2000's, 2010's, as say the 80's and 90's, so I stand to be corrected.
I just don't see Yamamoto to close or even pitch. The arm just can't recuperate in a day from 90+ pitches. And this is also a guy that has pitched every 6 days in his entire MLB Career.
But I have been surprised before.

Yamamoto said after the game last night that he is ready to pitch in Game 7, and feels fine. I can see him coming in for an inning if need be.

Both are shaky and bit of a roll of the dice, but Max has been here before so he's more mentally ready for this.

The question is do you pull him after 2 innings this time?

No way Randle's hero and Man Crush Varsho should be hitting 5th tonight, based on his atrocious hitting numbers since Game 2 against the Yankees in the ALDS. I do no care about his supposed "bad luck" swinging at balls out of the strike zone. He sucks right now at the plate. If this team had any quality production from your Number 5 hitter- this team could have won the 18 inning Game in LA, and yesterday's game also (based on the number of men Varsho left on base).
Like I mentioned earlier my lineup is Springer at 1, Vlad at 2, Bichette at 3, Barger at 4, Kirk at 5, Lukes at 6, Clement at 7, Varsho at 8, and Gimenez at 9. Regardless, get both Varsho and Lukes out of the top 5 in the final game of this season for once.

Yeah the great ones have done it and Yamamoto is absolutely one of those.
Again, that early pull yesterday rather than burning him for 120 pitches gives them the option to go to him again today.

I’m not letting him face Shohei a 2nd time, no. I feel awful about him facing him even one time.
