Urquidy has better stuff than Miley and I'd much rather give him a start in the playoffs right now.  He can miss bats which is something Miley doesn't do even when he's at his best.

if we like urquidy over miley as potential sp4 (and i can't see how we couldn't) then i don't think miley should be on the roster for the alds.  i just can't imagine a scenario where it makes sense to bring him in.  if it's "long relief" and we're losing 8-1 then who gives a shit.  bring in peacock or james or whomever isn't in the grouping of relievers that come in when we're winning (which i assume is osuna, pressly, harris, and one more).

If Urquidy is the #4 I think the last spot would be down to Miley vs Rondon. If that's the choice I'd rather have Miley.

also i'm assuming devo will make the postseason roster.  i had noticed after a brutal august that he had settled in some in sept (10ip, 2er, whip under 1.00).  both those er were during an outing vs oak.

in fact, his last 4 outings vs oak/tb = 4.1ip, 9er (all in aug/sept).  if it comes down to miley vs devo, then maybe call mez.

in response to the rondon option - i just did a similar look at his numbers vs oak/tb.  in his last 7.1ip vs oak/tb (mostly oak) he's gone scoreless.  he hasn't given up a run vs one of them since april 7th.

Can we talk ALDS roster?

I'm curious how many pitchers we carry and who gets the last couple spots. Will the #4 spot in the rotation be Miley or Urquidy, and do they both make the roster regardless? With Miley's disastrous September I'm kind of leaning Urquidy as the #4 to start the postseason with Miley as a long relief option.

As far as position players, I'm thinking Straw makes it and Toro doesn't.

Expand  

Don’t forget Stubbs as the 3rd catcher since we carried three catchers the last two years. And before anyone loses their shit, yes I’m totally being sarcastic.

But I think Toro makes it unless Glass Pussy is currently pulling a John Madden and busing it back from Anaheim. We are going to have to win it without him.

I think you have to have Toro as insurance for Correa. That will probably cost Tucker his spot.
Rondon is making it.
Toro doesn't need to be on the roster. He can be added if Correa gets hurt with only penalty being Correa cannot play in that current series or the following one

Do you want the A's or Rays in the ALDS? Why?


I’ve posted the following thoughts before, but A’s.
-I’m confident we’ll win either series but Rays I see going 4 or 5 games and A’s only 3 or 4…that’s especially true if Manaea starts the WC game.

-Would you rather: Glasnow, Snell, CFM, Chirinos or Fiers, Anderson, Manaea, Bailey?

-Also, I think the Rays bullpen is better (A’s are way overworked…Petit (80), Diekman (76), Hendriks (75) are the top 3 in appearances in the AL this year).

-Tropicana Field seems to be our little house of horrors over the years

-Rays are one of three AL teams that won the season series over us (Twins, White Sox are the other two. All three were 4-3)…and yes, this comes with a HUGE grain of salt as we’ve played the Rays a whopping 3 times in the final 158 games of the year.

True but that isn’t an ideal scenario for a “day to day” injury.

If Correa tweaks something again, he's not playing for the rest of the year so the next series penalty doesn't really matter.

Then Correa shouldn't be on the roster at all. You don't put Toro on unless you leave Correa completely off

the next 4 days will tell us all we need to know about correa, and in turn, the other needs on the alds roster.

he'll either start g1, or he won't be on the roster and we'll figure out what combination of diaz/toro/whomever will fill the need.

C -> Chirinos

1B -> Gurriel

2B -> Altuve

3B -> Bregman

SS -> Correa

LF -> Brantley

CF -> Springer

RF -> Reddick

DH -> Alvarez

Bench -> Maldonado, Diaz, Straw, Marisnick

SP -> Verlander, Cole, Greinke

CL -> Osuna

SU -> Pressly, Harris, Smith, Abreu

LR -> Peacock, James

That leaves 3 spots for Tucker, Toro, Miley, Urquidy, Rondon, and Devenski.

Kaplan on the roster
Pretty much what has already been said. I don’t see the need to carry Miley if his only role is to eat innings a blowout but ILWT. (And presumably a blowout deficit... even if up 8, do you really go to Miley and let him turn it in to a 4 run game in an inning?

If CC cant man up for the postseason, then its time to say bye.

 

 

...after 2021.

 

You rake him over the coals in arbitration. Pay him ~$10M next year and hope this back nonsense is a thing of the past by February.

That is unless someone comes knocking with a trade offer you can’t turn down.

 

Completely off the wall but would the Mets be willing to work a deal involving Thor?

And I know we all realize it indirectly, but can we again acknowledge what a ridiculous franchise Luhnow has developed?
Correa has participated in 60% of the Astros’ regular season games back to the start of 2017.
No biggie
Just averaging 103.7 wins per season in that span

Honestly, what will the Astros arbitration offer be for Correa, postseason results excluded?

From the same Kaplan Q&A referenced above...

He suspects $8-9M. I have no idea if that is realistic or not. Correa got $5M this year.

I wish I could not show up for work 54% of the time and double my salary next year

Cole wins the AL Pitcher of the Month for the 3rd time this season.

Also, Correa deservedly catches a lot of grief but we can all concede that he is a good community guy.

I know some people that have dealt with CC when he visits local hospitals. They all say that he is over the top friendly and will give everyone a picture or autograph even when he could easily slip away.

She sucks.  And I don’t mean that in a good way.  Probably told (politely) to GTFO along with Stanton’s baseball.

Give Atlanta the early slot, Astros the mid afternoon, Yankees early evening and LA the late game.

But I can see Fox wanting to alternate start times to eliminate the chance that the Astros game bleeds into the start of the Yankee game

Not believing this until I see a link

Maybe they know Tampa is going to win. 

Let's see if Joe West is the umpire.
