VAfan Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 1. Contreras 2. McCarthy 3. Garcia 4. Buehrle/Garland Of course I'm making a joke, but I do think Ozzie may have a challenge picking his postseason rotation, and our postseason fates probably rest on whether he makes the right choice. Needless to say, we also need to make the postseason, which is not yet a done deal. But when Ross Gload rejoins the team, I expect an immediate boost!

My guess would be the rotation would go something like this: 1. Buehrle 2. Garland 3. Garcia 4. Contreras El Duque needs to go to the bullpen for the playoffs, maybe even now. I think McCarthy can pitch just as well as El Duque from here on out. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duque on the other hand, that guy bring him in for one inning, and hope it aint the "bad" one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonxctf Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 i wonder if ozzie would want to go righty, lefty, righty for the rotation? Especially since game 1 may be a day game (3:05 start???) Garcia, Buehrle, Garland?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we finish with the best record in the AL, we could have Freddy pitch the third game, on the road...which is what he is best at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Honestly, I think whoever is hot will get the start. Ozzie's crazy enough to have Contreras, Duque, Garcia going. If they're hot I agree though. The way Buehrle's playing, he is thrown into the bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAfan Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 I was making a joke, but only Steff picked up on the green text. Still, after last night's game, Contreras has to figure in the postseason rotation, perhaps even among the first 3. Lately he's been really hot through the first 5 or 6 innings, which makes him a natural match for a good long reliever. El Duque should fill that role. Frankly, I could see the postseason rotation look a lot like it looked to start the season: Buehrle Garcia Contreras Garland If you love Garcia on the road more than at home, you could flip Contreras and Garcia.

GoodAsGould Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Im thinking Buehrle, Garland, Garcia, Contreras, Buehrle would be our first series matchup if it goes 5. I know El Duque has his past success but I think thats just what it is past success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Jose in the 4 hole, despite his dominance as of late, because if we can make it to the CD and WS, he can go game 7 if needed. I think Duque should back up any of the starters in case of they get into a hole early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I might be the only one, but I think El Duque should definetly be in the rotation, and depending on Contreras, possibly in the 4 spot. El Duque is the only starter with true playoff experience, and has been dominant in the playoffs throughout his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past though he was good during the season 2.... thats not true this season and really there is no reason to think he is suddenly going to be godly in the playoffs.
