JUGGERNAUT Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Here's what J Momo was thinking: The off day on Mon squeezed the rotation. E-LO's next start: W,R,F,S = Sun Colon's next start: R,F,S,S = Tues Garland's next start: M,T,W,R = Fri Buerhle's next start: S,M,T,W = Thurs J Momo's thoughts: Do I pitch Cotts today in a series we've already won or so I pitch him in Det? Now this illustrates Momo's short attention span. Otherwise he would have realized that next week has 2 off days. Any decision to pitch Cotts means 2 starters will get 5 days rest. Any decision not to pitch Cotts means 2 starters will get 3 days rest followed by 5 days rest. The Momo's "everybody plays" theme song evidently dictates policy. JUGGERNAUT as mgr: NO COTTS MB=R vs NYY (4 days rest) JG= F vs DET (4 days rest) EL= S vs DET (3 days rest, followed by 5 days rest) BC= S vs DET (3 days rest, followed by 5 days rest) Mon = off MB=T vs BOS (4 days rest) JG=W vs BOS (4 days rest) R = off EL= F vs CLE (5 days rest) BC=S vs CLE (5 days rest) MB=S vs CLE (4 days rest) JG=M vs MIN (4 days rest) NC=T vs MIN EL=W vs MIN Strongest argument: DW has pitched 12 in in STARTER's relief for COTTS. DW could have pitched at least 4in betw EL, BC's short starts. J MOMO as mgr: EVERYBODY PLAYS! NC=R vs NYY (loss of DW for relief in DET series) MB=F vs DET (5 days rest) JG=S vs DET (5 days rest) EL=S vs DET (4 days rest) Mon = off BC=T vs BOS (5 days rest) MB=W vs BOS (4 days rest) R= off JG= F vs CLE (5 days rest) EL=S vs CLE (5 days rest) BC=S vs CLE (4 days rest) MB=M vs MIN (4 days rest) NC=T vs MIN JG= W vs MIN (4 days rest) Strongest argument: They look tired. I hope the 4 starts on 5 days rest don't mess up their rhythm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 JUGGERNAUT as mgr: NO COTTS MB=R vs NYY (4 days rest) JG= F vs DET (4 days rest) EL= S vs DET (3 days rest, followed by 5 days rest) BC= S vs DET (3 days rest, followed by 5 days rest) Mon = off MB=T vs BOS (4 days rest) JG=W vs BOS (4 days rest) R = off EL= F vs CLE (5 days rest) BC=S vs CLE (5 days rest) MB=S vs CLE (4 days rest) JG=M vs MIN (4 days rest) NC=T vs MIN EL=W vs MIN Strongest argument: DW has pitched 12 in in STARTER's relief for COTTS.

NC=R vs NYY (loss of DW for relief in DET series) MB=F vs DET (5 days rest) JG=S vs DET (5 days rest) EL=S vs DET (4 days rest) Mon = off BC=T vs BOS (5 days rest) MB=W vs BOS (4 days rest) R= off JG= F vs CLE (5 days rest) EL=S vs CLE (5 days rest) BC=S vs CLE (4 days rest) MB=M vs MIN (4 days rest) NC=T vs MIN JG= W vs MIN (4 days rest) Strongest argument: They look tired. I hope the 4 starts on 5 days rest don't mess up their rhythm. Here's how it should have gone down. I've expanded to include the entire remainder of the season. YTZ37 as mgr: EVERYBODY PLAYS! When I tell them to MB=R vs NYY (4 days rest) NC=F vs DET (6 days rest) JG=S vs DET (5 days rest) EL=S vs DET (4 days rest) Mon = off BC=T vs BOS (5 days rest) MB=W vs BOS (5 days rest) R= off JG= F vs CLE (5 days rest) EL=S vs CLE (5 days rest) NC=S vs CLE (8 days rest) NC has to pitch one game this series. we don't want the others to get too much rest however. Plus he needs to get work we WILL need him down the stretch BC=M vs MIN (5 days rest) MB=T vs MIN (5 days rest) JG= W vs MIN (4 days rest) EL= R vs MIN (4 days rest) 4 tough starters vs MIN @home could put them out of the race for good NC=F @ Bos (4 days rest) This could be a spot start for DW if NC isn't able to get it back on track BC=Sa @Bos (4 days rest) MB=Su @Bos (4 days rest) Mon = OFF JG = T @ MIN (5 days rest) EL = W @ MIN (5 days rest) BC= R @ MIN (4 days rest) NC= F vs KC (6 days rest) MB= Sa vs KC (5 days rest) JG = Su vs KC (4 days rest) EL = M vs NYY (4 days rest) BC = T vs NYY (4 days rest) NC = W vs NYY (4 days rest) Here's a chance to redeem himself in the last Home game of the season. Fan should be very supportive. MB = R @ KC (4 days rest) JG = F @ KC (4 days rest) EL = Sa @KC (4 days rest) BC = Sun @ KC (4 days rest) 4 tough starters against KC in what could be the deciding series in the AL Central With DW's good effort out of the pen today i wouldn't be suprised if gets his old spot back in the rotation. Although I don't like cotts (a guy who hasn't thrown strikes) coming out of the pen, where DW has been a good long reliever. And has the potential to develope into something special(closer).

JUGGERNAUT Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 Ok. I can accept juggling the rotation for better matchups vs rivals. JUGGERNAUT as mgr: COTTS vs any one that we've beaten MB=R @ NYY (4 days rest) JG= F @ DET (4 days rest) EL= S @ DET (3 days rest, followed by 5 days rest) BC= S @ DET (3 days rest, followed by 5 days rest) @ DET is an important series because they swept us there last time. Mon = off MB=T v BOS JG=W v BOS R = off EL= F v CLE (5 days rest) BC=S v CLE (5 days rest) NC=S v CLE MB=M v MIN (5 days rest) JG=T v MIN (5 days rest) EL=W v MIN BC=R v MIN NC=F @ BOS MB=S @ BOS JG=S @ BOS M = off EL=T @ MIN (5 days rest) BC=W @ MIN (5 days rest) MB =R @ MIN JG = F v KC NC= S v KC (Better to have him pitching at home v KC than @ MIN) EL = S v KC BC = M v NYY MB = T v NYY NC = W v NYY (chance at redemption) JG = R @ KC (5 days rest) EL = F @ KC BC = S @ KC MB = S @ KC (Could be biggest game of year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 The thing JM was trying to accomplish with this: J MOMO as mgr: EVERYBODY PLAYS! NC=R vs NYY (loss of DW for relief in DET series) MB=F vs DET (5 days rest) JG=S vs DET (5 days rest) EL=S vs DET (4 days rest) Mon = off BC=T vs BOS (5 days rest) MB=W vs BOS (4 days rest) R= off JG= F vs CLE (5 days rest) EL=S vs CLE (5 days rest) BC=S vs CLE (4 days rest) MB=M vs MIN (4 days rest) NC=T vs MIN JG= W vs MIN (4 days rest) Strongest argument: They look tired. I hope the 4 starts on 5 days rest don't mess up their rhythm. was that NOBODY will have to pitch on 3 days rest. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
