Neither Collins nor Lockridge will get many at-bats regardless, may as well keep the one that can be an asset as a defensive replacement and pinch runner.
home Field advantage is so important, it's going to be crucial to do anything we can to win both home games to start the series.
I would rather start Priester on the road when we're going to be heavy underdogs playing in LA as it is.
very good post, and I agree with almost all of it, with the exception being, I wouldn't start Priester in either of the first two games. Just don't trust him at all right now.
hell no. he didn't make the NLDS roster in part because of his lack of ABs down the stretch in the regular season.
that's even more pronounced now that he wasn't part of the NLDS roster.
i'm not convinced Misiorowski pitches in this game.
I could see it being all relievers pitching an inning or two each.
Despite his nice performance in game 2, I don't trust Miz as far as I can throw him. At least not in a win-or-go-home game.
I'm sure we've had worse playoff teams over the years.
The offense and starting pitching aren't great, but we do have a great bullpen, great defense, and really good base running.
