Ecstatic to hear Game 2 is at 4 and not any earlier. Flight lands at BWI at 1.

 

 

My oldest son & grandson are flying in from Atlanta at 8 am for game one. Then going to game 2 before flying out very early Monday morning.

ITS GAME DAY

[BobPhelan]

No Means on the ALDS roster, elbow soreness. Expected to be ready for the next round.

Ugh

[Mackus]

Man that stings.  Win the first two and its a lot more palatable.

Where is the official postseason roster for this round.

[CantonJester]

So this means Dean Kremer is definitely getting a start?

And Gibson. Bradish isnt starting Gm 4 on 3 days rest.

Im gonna walk this back. Pretty sure he wouldnt start game 4 if we are up 2-1. If we are down 2-1 they may do it if he feels good and plan to start GRod in Gm 5 on reg rest. Still, my bet would be on Kremer/Gibson pitching Gm 4

I already figured they’d go Bradish, Rodriguez, Means, Gibson, Bradish. The Means and Gibson starts would be flanked by Flaherty/Kremer. 

 

But this thrusts Kremer into the rotation.

Bradish / Rodriguez / Gibson / ?? / and then both Bradish and Rodriguez will be fully rested (Rodriguez on normal rest, Bradish +1 day). 

[DuffMan]

Well that explains Bakers inclusion

Not sure who they plan on giving the nod to in Game 3. Well, what wouldve been game 4. I havent looked at the numbers to see if Tex seemingly is stronger vs Gibby or Kremer. Regardless, now that Means is out, I think theyre both getting starts

Was it decided or clear that it would be Gibson over Kremer?

This definitely sucks about Means and explains why Grayson got the game 2 nod. Hopefully it's really just a minor thing.

IMO the way they pitch Kremer in G3 is if the O’s are up 2-0 headed to Texas.

It was all TBD. But yeah, I think they would’ve gone with Gibson over Kremer. 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Roster just came out. 12 pitchers. Baker made it over Fuji. Kjerstad over McKenna.

Seemed like a toss up to me. Like 2035 said, may have come down to some splits against the Texas lineup.

I support those choices.

Figured 12 pitchers. Surprised they didnt add Irvin. Especially with Means out.
