I never heard, did Jobe make the post season roster?

He's on it.

Maeda and Montero are not.

Montero being off is a lil surprising.

Thanks. Montero is very surprising. Do you know if this is for the first series or the entire playoffs?

I believe you set a roster for each series.

Correct....players can be added/dropped with each successive series.

 

[tomdalton22]

I believe you set a roster for each series.

That makes more sense then. Skubal game 1, Olson game 2, and if they need a game 3, just a bull pen day. They probably have a better chance with a bull pen day in a must win game, than starting Montero.

Yeah, your probably right. I'm gonna guess he will use a Lefty opener tomorrow most likely holton, then have olson be the bulk guy, its kinda become AJs M.O.

Tyler Holton will open for Tigers in Game 2, the Tigers announced.

 

[kalinecountry]

Beau Brieske for the Save! And, in the process, he extended his streak to 40 straight batters faced without allowing a 2-strike hit. It's the longest active streak among active MLB players.

Chaos reigns. I've never seen anything like what we do with our pitching staff.

 

[tomdalton22]

what is stopping the Astros from just putting 3 right handed hitters at the top of the order?

They could but after Holton is gone what then? RH in unless they want to sub early and then 3 RH are gone for the game.

I just meant changing their order, putting 3 of their right handers at the top of the order.

 

[kalinecountry]

Tarik Skubal has allowed a total of 52 earned runs in his last 36 starts.

Those two LH at the top of the order are their best hitters is probably why.

I understand that, but if I were the opposing manager I would go right back at AJ using his methods against him.

No team has all year.

Tarik Skubal is just the fourth pitcher in franchise history to throw 6.0 shutout innings in his playoff debut, joining Max Scherzer on October 2, 2011 at New York (AL), Joe Coleman on October 10, 1972 vs. Oakland and Ed Willett on October 11, 1909.
