Is that your guess or has Leyland confirmed that?

 

[sggatecl]

I'm A-Ok with Scherzer starting game 1 of the World Series. (If it went 7)

 

[pr0tege]

Fister starting game 1 on 1 extra days rest.
Sanchez starting game 2 on normal rest
Verlander starting game 3 on normal rest.
Scherzer starting game 4 on 2 extra days rest.

Its the only rotation that makes sense to be honest.

The TBS guys were saying that Verlander started the ALDS on two extra days rest, and as a result he wasn't as sharp as usual early in the game - and that last night was normal rest; consequently, his typical dominance.

Exactly you keep JV on his normal routine and in the process you give an obviously ailing Scherzer a couple extra days rest since its obvious by the drop in velocity the shoulder ailment is bothering him.

If Baltimore wins this rotation will be perfect. Fister in game 1 and your weakest pitcher still getting a home game. Then you get your best 3 pitchers on the road.

You know its amazing when your say your weakest pitcher yet over the last 7 starts Sanchez has a 2.48 ERA - 0.97 WHIP - 40/7 K-BB Ratio lmao. The lack of offense is the only reason he is actually 2-3 over those last 7 starts is the Tigers have actually scored a grand total of 17 runs in those 7 starts.

you are right. He is making himself some money! If the bats can wake up I like their chances......but that is a big IF!

 

[pr0tege]

Since September 1st (Playoffs included):
Verlander 8 Starts - 1.55 ERA - 1.01 WHIP - 63/15 K-BB Ratio

Sanchez 7 Starts - 2.48 ERA - 0.97 WHIP - 40/7 K-BB Ratio

Yeah but they were against weaker competition, lol. Sorry but that was the general argument that some made here last week. Sanchez has been good. And I really hope we have a chance to sign him in the off season.

Whether it was against weaker competition or not the fact is those were must win type games in the middle of a playoff hunt. Trust me from experience teams out of the running for a playoff spot only play for the role of spoilers which can make it just as difficult. Bottom line is ALL of our starters have been impressive since Sept 1st.

 

[cmlfactor]

Sanchez's start against NY this year was 3 innings 7 hits and 7 runs. Es no bueno.

Porcello was much better against the Yankees including 6 innings of 1 run ball at the band box.

1 lousy game. Means little.

 

[pr0tege]

Here is some extra stats from our 6 main starting pitchers this year against teams who finished the year with a .500 or better winning %

16 Starts - 4.74 ERA - 1.25 WHIP
9 Starts - 4.28 ERA - 1.15 WHIP
18 Starts - 2.50 ERA - 1.08 WHIP
17 Starts - 3.98 ERA - 1.36 WHIP
15 Starts - 2.85 ERA - 1.17 WHIP
8 Starts - 3.98 ERA - 1.22 WHIP

See if you can figure out who is who.

Schedule updated with pitching match-ups. Only question is I wonder if they start CC on short rest in game 3? I expect they do so that he can pitch against Verlander.

 

[Mitchrapp]

They did last season. I rather have HFA and the O's.

Technically he didn't start against us on short rest in last years playoffs. His game 1 start was rained out like with Verlander so his start in game 3 really wasn't short rest. He did come into game 5 on 2 days rest in relief and proceeded to give up 2 hits, 1 ER, 2BB and 4K in 1.1 innings.

But you get the drift, he was going to start on short rest but thanks to the rain..
