    So the real question at this point is how long will the starters actually play. One half? One quarter?

    If the tickets are very cheap, I might attend. Would only be my 2nd game this season.

    Nuggets are a mess. Easy win if the starters play, but I doubt that they will for long.

    Yes. All the starters and rotation players.

    Tate is the only player mentioned on the injury report. He is OUT.

    I’d guess 15-20 minutes, similar to what Jalen got earlier. It could be a bit longer, though, since we’re heading into a week long break.

    There's always been an unwritten rule in MLB that at the end of the season, once you're eliminated from fun (or you're guaranteed postseason fun), you still have an obligation to play your best players and try to win in any games that would affect the playoff race. You rest your guys and play the youngsters in games that matter to nobody.

    That being said, I have no idea what I'd do if I was the Rockets tomorrow.

    In that regard, I guess MLB differs from the NFL and NBA. Maybe because the risk of injury is much lower.
