Late games are here. Another sweep would be nice.
Smyly scheduled for the first game so a sweep is seriously unlikely. Minor in game two and Jurado in game three gives us a chance for a series.
I felt Jurado deserves another look as a starter so agree with you on that.We have won 2 of Smyly's last 3 starts, his control and command are off and he's throwing too many pitches, which is to be expected for a guy coming back from 2 years of arm trouble
Also he's pitched in 7 games and 3 have been against the Astros, ouch
Glad Jurado is getting a start...
Yeah, that 6.51 ERA for Smyly doesn't provide much confidence does it.Smyly scheduled for the first game so a sweep is seriously unlikely. Minor in game two and Jurado in game three gives us a chance for a series.
His issue is he rarely pitches into the 5th inning. His last start he threw 38 pitches in the first inning.Yeah, that 6.51 ERA for Smyly doesn't provide much confidence does it.
He has been pretty lucky so far too. A lot of starting pitchers with a WHIP as high as his is, would have a much worse ERA.

Had Mendez, Hearn and Burke all not got hurt, I wonder what our rotation would look like?Minor Lynn Samson and Jurado looks fair to middling at the moment.
He may not be ready to come back that early. If he is ready, then I think it will depend on how others are doing. EIther way, they should clear roster space for him by the trade deadline.Do you guys think Calhoun will be back on the team when June 1st rolls out?
I’ve always thought players shouldn’t lose their spot because of injuries.
