    Blanco should be able to go on regular rest for game 3,Verlander should be able to go on regular rest for game 1 and Javier should be back this weekend.

    I guess they really want to get that extra rest heading into a condensed stretch. Seems risky to run Arrighetti and Brown out there if you don't have to, but I certainly understand it.

    Brown needs a good start. He has had some brutal BABIP luck, but the underlying numbers are terrible too. He bombs again and it's gonna be musical chairs for the 5th spot.

    Arrighetti’s FIP is 3.87, he’s had really bad luck so far.

    Huge series against a good team. Stros either show up or they don't.

    He should try giving up fewer runs.

    This is the turning point series. Worried about Brown. Eek.

    Over/under on which inning "JV Jr." totally implodes and gives up his usual 5 earned runs tonight.

    1st or 2nd?

    Let's see if Joey starts in CF or 1B

    (or if Joe uses the patented Dusty 1 game acclimation before playing him)

    This is what kills me. He's got the stuff to be literally JV jr, but he doesn't know how to control it. I'd simplify **** for him: 4S up, 2S down, Curve, show change, show slider

    Sweet baby Jesus, please cradle Hunter Brown in your golden arms and guide him to a minimum of four decent innings, Amen.

    Boy, they are really dragging out this corresponding move for Loperfido.

    You would think, if it were just Singleton or Kessinger there's no real reason to take this long.
