ALCS Rotation?

[randyf10]

Who do you think goes after Verlander? It will not be Fister, so that leaves Porcello on 4 days rest in a park where you need ground balls or Scherzer after throwing 1 1/3 innings last nite? If you go with Porcello who do you use Tuesday, Scherzer or Fister, they are both throwing good right now. Lots of questions, and hopfully no wrong answers.

Maybe Penny.

I would guess it goes:
1. Verlander
2. Porcello
3. Scherzer
4. Fister
5. Verlander

 

[beez]

Scherzer

 

[ihatebadenglish]

Depends on how Scherzer is feeling today.

My guess is Porcello but I hope Scherzer can go.

If it is Porcello:

JV
Porcello
Fister
Scherzer
JV
Porcello
Fister

If it is Scherzer

JV
Scherzer
Fister
Porcello
JV
Scherzer
Fister

I honestly don't mind Porcello getting the second start of the series.. If you look up his splits, he's much better on the road than at home..

1. Verlander
2. Porcello
3. Scherzer
4. Fister
5. Verlander

This is what I think too. Get Scherzer to Comerica and give him normal rest. I don't think it matters if Porcello goes in TX or Det.

 

[lions2011]

1. Verlander

2. Scherezer

3. Fister

4. Verlander

5. Scherezer

6. Fister

7. Verlander

Have you paid any attention to Leyland at all ? He will not be pitching Verlander on 3 days rest, if he gives in at all, itwon't be until game 7 of the World Series IMO

So you pitch Verlander in games 1 and 5 and not have him available for a game 7 ?

FWIW, yahoo's projected rotation...

Verlander
Porcello
Scherzer
Fister

 

[lions2011]

Just announced...


espn_durrett Richard Durrett
Tigers rotation: Verlander Game 1, Porcello in Game 2, Fister Game 3, Scherzer Game 4, Verlander Game 5...Porcello and Fister in 6 and 7.

 

[deathroh]

With off days on 10/10 and 10/14 they could skip Porcello's second start and keep everyone on normal rest. Well, outside of Verlander, if he goes game 1 and 5 he'll have an extra day.

 

[deathroh]

Quite a few righties in the Texas lineup. Porcello might do all right

 

[jh1spartanfan]

Porcello should only be getting 1 start.

Thanks slick, I just saw it now on mlbnetwork.

 

[tycobb420]

Porcello should only be getting 1 start.

In a perfect world, but the LDS screwed it up

Why? Just skip his second start.

So how many games does everyone have to see before they realize Leyland is not pitching anyone on short rest and he is faith in all 4 pitchers above? We are going on game #168.
