Call me crazy- but here is what i would do: (keep in mind this is assuming we have homefield for the 1st round)

Game 1- Contreras (7-2 with a 3.34 era since the break)

 

Game 2- Buerhle ( 5-4 with a 4.15 era since the break)

 

Game 3- Garcia ( 4-5 with a 4.13 era since the break)

 

Game 4- Garland (4-5 with a 3.73 era since the break)

I'd start McCarthy. I know he has barely reached the minimum of pitching in the regular season, but its a good risk involved if you win, pushing Buehrle back a day with Garcia and then Hernandez starting if needed.

I'm sorry...but taking a kid who has pitched basically 3 good games in his entire big league career and suddenly deciding he can handle game 1 of the playoffs type-pressure just strikes me as an amazingly large risk.

So, you won't be buying playoff tix or looking into it before they clinch?

Guess he will be buying inflated ones off ebay.

 

My pick for the game one start is looking better every day IMO.

 

Last night, 6th inning, 2k's back to back, man that was a different pitcher. Fastball, fastball, fastball, curve, fastball, fork

Damn right. I don't know how you start Buehrle who's been sucked in big games or against good teams. Contreras looks the best and if he continues, he should start Game 1.
