Division or bust!With Burke and Martin on short rest. First wild card game is Tuesday I believe. Win the division and you get almost a week off.

Win the division and you get almost a week off.I would consider starting Burke tomorrow and Martin on Friday. I think that would be their normal days between starts due to the off day Monday. Then they could go Tuesday/Wednesday should the Sox not win the division.

Then they could go Tuesday/Wednesday should the Sox not win the division.I agree, they wouldn't be on short rest tomorrow and Friday either since we had a day off Monday. Then Saturday you do a bullpen game or hope Sandlin can handle the Rockies. Sunday can be Kay if needed/all hands on deck OR Cleveland can actually lose some games, we clinch the division Saturday and then who the hell cares who pitches Sunday.That way Burke and Martin are either on full rest for games 1 and 2 of the wild card series or we win the division and line them up well rested for the division series.

It all depends on how big Getz’s ego is. Perhaps he doesn’t want to admit that the trade was a failure and he can save some face by saying that Castillo at least made the postseason bullpen.

Best players play, you are no longer talking about development and helping players overcome.
2 hours ago2 hr Astros and Rangers both go 4-1, finish 82-80 • Guardians and White Sox go 1-4, finish 83-79 and 82-80, respectivelyIn this situation, the Astros win the AL West via tiebreaker. The Guardians finish one game ahead of the White Sox for the AL Central crown. And the White Sox take the third AL Wild Card spot via a tiebreaker with the Rangers. The Guardians would get a first-round bye, the No. 3 seed Astros would face the No. 6 seed White Sox in the Wild Card Series, and the Rangers would head home for the offseason.mlb.com

All sorts of scenarios.Most likely we travel to the state of Texas to play whoever wins the West.
