#6. To: redleghunter (#1) However it is either going to be Gallardo or Holland. Now is the time of year where match ups are very important and I would play them to the hilt. Since Gallardo had such good success against the Jays I would start him in Game 1 and Holland in game 2... Now if they win at least one of the games in Toronto (preferably both) I think I just might take the chance on running Gonzalez out there in game 3. Especially if they won the 1st game and lost the 2nd, if it is the other way around then it's a tossup as to who I would start. Normally I would say Hamels but the Jays have had good success against him so I might be tempted to go elsewhere... And yes I think I would use 13 pitchers... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
#10. To: CZ82 (#6) (Edited) Rangers roster prediction for ALDS: Start the Martin Perez- Colby Lewis debate Edit: Grant is advocating 11 pitchers total. Even suggesting due to the turf up there drop pitchers to 10 total. That's madness. On another note...I noticed the Dallas Stars fans filling the stadium seats yesterday. I was not there but the camera pans of the fans showed a few red and blue painted goalie masks:)
#20. To: redleghunter (#10) And the reason I would think they are considering carrying Napoli is they want him to hit against Price... I'm not so sure these stats are a good reason to carry him... http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/28444/mike-napoli And the one subject I haven't heard raised yet is what do you do with Joey considering most of the Jays staff is RHed??? Heck why not only go with 4 pitchers and take along the stove, BBQ grille, kitchen sink and the bathtub!!!
#21. To: CZ82, tomder55, liberator (#20) Heck why not only go with 4 pitchers and take along the stove, BBQ grille, kitchen sink and the bathtub!!! Lol. Oh Nap is going to be on the roster. So Josh Donaldson...Mediocre player for a few years then viola! All Star. Wonder how the testing is going these days.
#22. To: redleghunter, CZ62, Liberator (#21) Matt Harvey was MIA @ Mets mandatory practice today . When he finally contacted the team he told them he was stuck in traffic . They asked David Wright about it ,and he did not sound pleased.

#25. To: All (#23) Yanks line up for tonight . B. Gardner, CF C. Young, LF C. Beltran, RF A. Rodriguez, DH B. McCann, C C. Headley, 3B G. Bird, 1B R. Refsnyder, 2B D. Gregorius, SS M. Tanaka, SP The puzzlement is the lead off. Ellsbury is sitting . I don't mind Young playing against a lefty . But Ellsbury has had a couple hits against Keuchel in his career . Gardner none. To me the key is for Tanaka and McCann to keep Jose Altuve and George Springer from having an impact in the game . Gardy and Young have to get on base and give Beltran ,AROID and McCann people to drive in . Tanaka has to keep it close for half a game and then hand it off to Wilson ,Betances,and, Miller . The Yanks have a slugger's chance. Looking forward to the Pirates -Cubs game tomorrow . We in the NY area get screwed again with the TV schedule . NLDS Mets v Dodgers 1st game starts 9:45 PM ET. Guess I'm missing that one.
#26. To: tomder55 (#25) That is the key. Keep Altuve off the bases. However tough to do:) He is excellent at expanding the strike zone and ruining good strike out pitches. I've seen him run up 10 pitch at bats. Only way to get him is to challenge him. Martin Perez did this his last start. He threw him two way inside balls then followed with an outside pitch fouled off. Then he threw another inside ball which was fouled off. Then he blew a fast ball nose high for a swinging strike 3. The Astro that goes unnoticed but causes the most damage is Gattis. Rasmus a free swinging LH batter will be aiming for your cozy RF wall:)
