September 24Sep 24 First off, we need to find a way to win the division and get a first round buy. If we do, the ALDS has days off between games 1 & 2, between games 2 & 3, and between games 4 & 5. Those days off would be make a huge difference for us as they let us empty the pen more frequently. The bye also let us give our staff a few days of much needed rest before we play October ball.In terms of how you attack this, Burke & Davis are the only two guys you treat as true SPs and even then you probably limit them to five. Hagen & Newcomb should go multiple innings every other game. Piggyback Kay with Sandlin and Fedde & Schultz and them each through the order once. Taylor pitches the 9th every game. Empty the rest of the bullpen to fill in any gaps.

Sunday at 02:17 AM3 days So who the hell pitches on Tuesday?Burke is on full rest for game 2. Martin barely pitched today and could possibly go for game 1, but do you want him to? Fedde is the other option, but do you really want a guy who needs an opener and shouldn't face a lineup 3 times to be your game 1 starter?I don't think going with Sandlin is realistic since he doesn't even have 10 ML starts under his belt. Are we possibly looking at a bullpen game?

Sunday at 02:30 AM3 days we are going to go by committee at least for game 1. I also wouldn't doubt if they hold Kay back to start game 1 and pitch 3-4 innings then you have Fedde or Hagan for a couple innings

Are we possibly looking at a bullpen game?It's a tough situation, this team was short on starters all year and they had to try to use the best because the division title was still a possibility, can't blame them for that.This is like the 2020 playoffs, same deal, only had two starters and had to go to a bullpen game for the third. Used nine pitchers and obviously that didn't work out.If there is an off season, if they play next year the priority has to be pitching, pitching and more pitching despite JR's unwillingness to pay the going rate for it.
Sunday at 02:35 AM3 days Potential starters for the Astros/RangersAstrosGame 1: LambertGame 2: BrownGame 3: WesneskiRangersGame 1: RockerGame 2: deGromGame 3: Eovaldi
Sunday at 03:52 AM3 days I heard on the radio coming back from the game that Kay is starting tomorrow against the Rockies. Why would you start him in a meaningless game?
Sunday at 03:58 AM3 days Might as well use an opener for every game. The rotation is a disaster minus Burke (who is a disaster less frequently but still prone to disaster).

Sunday at 04:04 AM3 days Thinking it over hell I'd start Martin Tuesday. He pitched less than an inning today and the way he performed I'm guessing he'll want to make things right.
