Is it really a foregone conclusion that Lance McCullers over Brad Peacock in the playoffs?

Dont know what you saw that was great? It should be peacocks job hes been better.

 

McCullers looked good on Wednesday- only gave up 2 runs, looked in command of his pitches- if he regresses, OK, Peacock is fine. But if LMC continues to improve, you have to make him #3.

 

LMJ was an all star pitcher this year.

He got hurt. He is recovering.

He's our number 3.

Peacock can be our number 4

 

The Astros will pitch the best three starting pitchers in the playoffs. The best #3 right now is McHugh, who has playoff experience. McCullers has work to do if he wants to be #3.

 

I saw a breaking ball that was literally dropping off the face of the Earth, and a fastball that had nice zip to it. I also saw a pitcher that was rounding into form, and getting his confidence back. In terms of overall talent, McCullers is clearly the #3. That's not to take away anything from Peacock because he's been transcendent this season, but McCullers at his best is better.

 

McCullers should have 4 more starts, I think.

I hope he pitches well enough to answer this question for us.

 

Let's lord our genius over them like true Clutchfans when that happens.
