All series talk goes in here. Non series talk goes somewhere else. No PBP, that can be found from other sources if you need it. All games are broadcast on Root Sports unless otherwise noted. 5-15 Joe Musgrove RHP vs. Dan Straily 6:10 ESPN 5-16 Dallas Keuchel LHP vs. Tom Koehler RHP 6:10 5-17 Lance McCullers Jr. RHP vs. Jose Urena RHP 11:10
A series sweep is very realistic. But a 2-1 series win would be fine as well. Let's keep the momentum as we head into yet another big weekend series; this time against the Indians.
Winning 2 out of every 3 games is fine by me. You do that over the course of a 162 game season and you wind up with 108 wins.
ESPN!! Early start! I'm a PSVue guy that doesn't do the whole VPN and stream thing (mostly cause I don't understand how to do it). Holding out hope that Root joins their channel lineup or something soon. Tonight's a tossup, but it's starting to get that point where I expect us to win any game that Lance or DK pitches. Let's start a new win streak... WWW.
Because it's a series against the defending AL Champs who just so happen to still be a really solid baseball team.
There really isn't such thing as a "big" series this early in the year against a non-division foe. If we sweep the Marlins and get swept by the Indians (or vice versa) it's still just 3-3, and won't really have any meaning beyond 3 wins and 3 losses.
May not be relevant (or even accurate), but here are Joe Musgrove's stats as a hitter... in high school.
The team didn't get into Miami until 4:30 AM this morning, so I hope they're well rested. I just want them to come out of this series healthy. Tired legs lead to pulled hamstrings.
