  1. Greinke in Game 4 and Verlander in Game 5 also sets them up to pitch WS Game 1 & 2 on normal rest.  Hypothetically.

    Right
    I’m still smh at those on here last night arguing to keep the plan and throw Urquidy in game 4.
    And/or hold JV back to game 6 so we could come at them with JV/Cole in 6 and 7.


    Ok, I’m done
  2. But I also think there's a decent chance that our bats are about to go apeshit.  I don't think Tanaka will fare nearly as well seeing us for the second time in less a week.  

    Agreed. It’s about time Springer (.121) and Correa (.161) progress to the mean .

  3. I like the aggressive mindset.  But I don't like asking aces to go on short rest unless we're the ones facing elimination. 

    Wut?I’m with you on Urquidy. I like him, but everything I’m talking about (assuming rainout) is full rest.

    Greinke on Thursday

    JV on Friday

    That’s normal rest. 4 days between starts

     

    Unless you’re going to go full Fondren on me in which case,

  4. I don’t really disagree with this.  But I also get the sense that Urquidy is the kind of guy who can go out and steal one for you if you trust him rather than go with him because he’s the best available option.  Show some confidence in the kid.  

    I’m with you and I like Urquidy a lot, but we’re not a team that needs to “steal” anything.
    We’re the 900 lb gorilla that won 107 games and don’t need to get cute setting up a rotation for games that don’t need to be necessary and leaves you playing all your aces as if there is no other series to get to

  5. I really don’t get you guys (arguing Urquidy for game 4 on thurs), but whatever you think...in case of a rainout and you pitch Urquidy Thursday, your rotation is fucked for the WS if it goes 7. Urquidy is the only guy available on full rest for WS game 1.

    Besides, Hinch already showed us how he’s going to play up 2-1 in a series (hint: aggressive)

     

    In case of a rainout,

    Thursday: Greinke vs Tanaka(full rest)

    Friday: JV vs Paxton (full rest)

    Saturday: Urquidy vs bullpen (that will be asked to pitch a third straight day after already logging 15.1 IP in the first 3 games).

     

    If you can’t get 2 wins out of that, you have Cole on full rest on Sunday.

     

    Gives you JV to close it out in Yankee Stadium on Friday if you win Thursday.

    Or gives you JV to give you a 3-2 lead heading back home if you don’t win with Grienke.

     

    Alternative is Urquidy pitching in Yankee Stadium in game 4 and Greinke backing him up. If Urquidy is going to pitch in this series, I’d prefer it at home and JV in Yankee Stadium.

     

    Close this shit out. Don’t play for a 6 and 7 with JV and Cole.

    Let them start WS games 1 and 2

  6. What the fuck are you guys talking about?
    If there is a rainout, you start your 3rd best pitcher on full rest.

    You don’t “give them game 4.” You don’t “stay the course for a 6/7 game series”. You don’t have your fourth starter be the first guy out of the bullpen when he will be needed to make a start on Saturday if you drop a game Thurs or Fri.

    You take what the baseball gods give you and play your best players and stomp on their throats.
    You don’t get more points for winning a series in 6 or 7 games vs only 5.
