2022 American League Central Division Champions

I don't expect Bieber or TMac to go on short rest at all this postseason... at least until their possible last start of the World Series.

They're too good right now on full rest. Don't rock that boat.

If we end up playing game 5 against the Yankees, Biebs would be on 3-days rest.

I’d prefer him to Plesac in that scenario.

It's a good point.

I think I prefer a bullpen game to Plesac.

Actually, it looks like Plesac or Civale would pitch game 4 unless they wanted Quantrill on 4-days rest.

Options would seem to be:
1 - Quantrill
2 - Bieber
3 - McKenzie
4 - Plesac/Civale or Quantrill on 4 days rest
5 - Plesac/Civale/Quantrill or Bieber on 3 days rest

I think Civale is the 4th starter if he's on the roster.

I think Plesac is the inning soaking bitch and nothing more.

If they're not depleted, I'm 100% in favor of a bullpen game over a Plesac start.

I'm also a dumbass so I'm probably very, very wrong here.

I’d definitely go with Civale. Heck, I’d probably even prefer him to Quantrill at this point.

Quantrill doesn’t miss many bats, and giving the Yanks a lot of opportunities to put the ball in play is scary.

 

[Derek]

For the sake of conversation:
1 - Biebs on 3 days rest
2 - McKenzie on 4 days rest
3 - Civale/Quantrill piggyback
4 - Biebs on 4 days rest
5 - McKenzie on 3 days rest

We call this 2016-style

Can anyone confirm if the walkway from Tower City is still open?

All I know is

And I present to you the problem with the WC round plus a best of 5 division round...

The G's basically have to run a 5 man rotation once through starting with their number 3. Yankees can throw their ace twice on full rest.

Win more games and earn a first round bye.

I'm okay with
Quantrill
Bieber
McKenzie
Civale
Quantrill

Can live with that. Maybe you have Bieber for 3 innings Game 5 if you need him with a burnt bullpen or a rough start from Quantrill?

I wish we had Bauer right now. (Not really, but fuck Aaron Judge)

Aaron Judge has never, and will never, be able to hit Bauer's curveball. I still remember him looking absolutely silly every at bat against Trevor, unless Trevor gave in and threw him something straight.

I hope Tristan and Karinchak throw him nothing but curves this series. Don't give that knuckle-dragger anything to square up.

Fuck New York. Fuck the Yankees. Let's go Guards. 3 and out, on to the ALCS.

As for me, I am thrilled we do not have Bauer.

Chapman off Yanks' roster after missing workout

Reliever Aroldis Chapman was dropped from the Yankees' American League Division Series roster because he missed Friday's workout.

Despite him being inconsistent, I , for one, am extremely pleased we don’t have to face him

He’s been very consistent this year, actually. He’s just been terrible throughout.

4 days rest is normal, so my guess is Quantrill unless he gets lit up on Tuesday.
