You make anything of this or is this just preparing to maybe pitch three times in a seven-game series in the postseason?

Do they need him to pitch that volume in September?
I would like to think that they, they try and scale back on him and all their pitchers, not just Skubal, all their pitchers.
Are they gonna scale back on him and Yama- Yamamoto and Snell and, you know, Glasnow, who's expected back?
Are they just scaling back on them and only having them throw 80, 85 pitches in their final starts?
Because if they need to throw 100 pitches, A, he's either struggling to get through the game or the Dodgers need to be winning games, which I just don't think will be the case
