We went 8-2 before, we can do it again!

Keep it rolling DG

Yeah, no kidding. Hope the offense stays hot as well.

Nova, Sabbathia, Tanaka, Pineda?

Not sure why we couldn't get to a few of them

What would be our rotation here. I have no idea anymore. Hamels is one in this series.

Agreed. 3/4 wouldn't be unexpected.

I really do hope so.

Chi Chi, Hamels, ?, Griffin or something like that

Should be nice for the Rangers. North East weather cooler this time of year. They should play great baseball.

I would think it has to be Martinez on your "?" spot. Still do not like Chi Chi but it is what it is and he has pitched well before at this level so just maybe he does it again. But the BP better be ready in at least 3 of the 4 games in this series.

I think it was, but in the other thread, this is a good spot for it too

I had read that earlier this morning. That is good news but I am okay if they waited until after the break just to be safe.

I just happened to look at this little schedule I have on the fridge and noticed all the home games at the end of the season (hard to miss since they are all highlighted red). We play 12 of our last 15 games at home. Now that is a nice way to end the season.

I'm ok with a glacier-slow rehab/comeback process, especially with a pretty big lead, I want him available in October moreso than July

Just the opposite of July where we play 16 of the first 20 games on the road (last 7 are at home), so 16 of 27 for the month are on the road

we're 3rd in the AL in runs scored (371), runs allowed (322) and run differential (+49)

I'm also ok if Yu only pitches 4-5 innings in his first two returns and have Ramos or Nick Martinez finish it out. Probably should have been the original plan.

That's essentially what I was talking about, after he's done with rehab

I could seem them bringing him back for one appearance before the ASB so that he could get some game reps in then have an extended break. I'm ok if they don't bring him back until afterwards though. Houston is red hot right now, but we could afford to let a few games slip now if it means better chance at health late.
