Just to get everyone thinking about it, here is the tentative rotations for all 8 playoff teams.
Auk - 4 man strict:
Lugo, Miller, Musgrove, Suroka
Rum Runners - 4 man strict:
Skubal, Castillo, Lodolo, Snell
Dogs - 4 man strict:
Sale, Gil, Pepiot, Peralta
Thunder - 4 man strict:
Steele, Lopez, Wheeler, Glasnow
Brewers - TBD
Landlubbers - 4 man strict:
King, Blanco, Cortes, Brown
Kraken - 4 man strict:
Nola, Wacha, Cease, Manaea
And lastly our little engine that could. Matt tried to not make the playoffs with his deadline deals and made it anyway!
Argonauts - 4 man strict:
Ryan, Kelly, Crochet, Gray
Rod and/or David, can you guys please do me a favor and change my MP to start with starting pitcher #1? My order should be Lopez, Wheeler, Glasnow, Steele.
Brewers - 4 man strict
Skenes, Gilbert, Imanaga, Ober
Round 2:
Dogs - 4 man strict:
Sale, Gil, Pepiot, Peralta
It worked well in R1, figure no reason to change it up!
Rum Runners - 4 man strict:
Castillo, Skubal, Lodolo, Snell
It's Castillo and then a trio of lefties.
Championship round:
Dogs - 4 man strict:
Gil, Sale, Peralta, Pepiot
Auk four man strict
Musgrove
BMiller
Lugo
Weathers
Due to a glitch in the matrix, Pepiot started G3 while Peralta pitched G4. Meaning Pepiot will pitch G7. Fingers crossed this glitch doesn't impact G7 result!
Pepiot has slightly better stats than Freddy. Bruno would have gone into a pretty serious bender if Drop Dead Fred had beaten the Auk, his team last year, in a game seven for the championship. They had some personality conflicts last year. I was really hoping the Auk batters would have squawked in game six and won the championship with Bryce. Lugo is more than fine for a game seven but left handed batters can get to him. Game Seven. All the marbles tonight. Carlos Correa time.
I'm not too broken up over it. I was originally, but Pepiot has been in the 3 hole all postseason, and you're right, his underlying stats are better than Peralta's. So let's do this...
Bob,
Would you want me to run game seven this afternoon? Rod is up for it.
sure lets roll
