The only confirmed starters for this series will be game one Collin ant game 3 Dallas. Rest depends on AJ.
if we know hinch at all, it's that he will never give up on someone he believes in. I think kazmir gets a start and capitalizes on it.
I don't care which way he goes. But Kaz can't just hand the Royals runs with wild pitches, walks, and errors. I don't care if he gets hit and gives up home runs, that happens, but he's just been handing over wins to the other team without there having to do anything to earn it. There have been worse pitchers starting playoff games, like Knepper and Deshaies and others. So if Kazmir starts I'm ok with it. But if he hands over one playoff game he's done.
I thought Fiers being included on the wild card roster instead of Kazmir was indicative of the Astros intending to use Kazmir in the ALDS rotation if we made it.
No way Kazmir starts any games in the playoffs unless we have an injury to one of the top 4. It'll be McHugh, Lance, Keuchel, Fiers…in that order, imo.
http://m.mlb.com/postseason-schedule Looks like game one is Thursday at 6:30 and we have a day game on Friday at 2:30!
If we can steal one of the first two in KC I like our chances of winning this series. Can't wait to see playoff MMP back in action.
Gotta have Fiers in there. Although I wouldn't be upset to have him out of the bullpen to go 3-4 innings in must win games.
Game 1: McHugh Game 2: Kazmir (Fiers ready to roll after 5IP) Game 3: Keuchel Game 4: McCullers Game 5: McHugh
That means nothing. We can change our postseason roster now that we have advanced. Hinch chose Fiers to be the emergency long relief guy over Kazmir, which seems to indicate he plans on using Kazmir in the ALDS. Just my perception and I'm not advocating either way.
Shirtless Rasmus has gone mainstream. They were talking about where's he going in the city tonight on ESPN. lol
