    Depends on JV, if he's healthy, he's starting a game. Framber, Hunter, Kikuchi, and JV...who is Blanco starting over? I guess he'll piggyback on a starter that struggles.

    We need Tucker back desperately. Not worried about Bregman.

    So nobody has been called out on strikes by pitch clock/ batter rules violation this entire season before Diaz and now Casas has done it in successive games.

    Crazy.

    Yes... with heavy load management down the stretch.

    He needs 1) two skipped starts (not necessarily consecutive games) and 2) an 85-pitch limit the remainder of the season.

    You're the same guy that called game in the top of the first inning.

    Calm your mammary glands.

    I’m speaking in regards to the postseason, Oppenheimer.

    Blum and TK were practically campaigning for Neris to come back

    After this 18 game stretch without a day off I say we get off the 6 man and take Blanco out of the rotation for a start, then pitch him, then skip another start and then one last start to the season.

    We need more depth after the big 3.

    We see cracks in Scott happening. Neris would be perfect to bring back. And we love him.

    Hader
    Pressly
    Abreu
    Scott
    Neris
    King
    Ort
    Starter not in the 4 man playoff rotation

    I'd feel a whole lot better to take some pressure off Scott to have Neris there to share his role.
