You trying to say Woodruff, Barnes, Peralta aren't good?

I’m trying to say playoff games are won by the team who finds the big hit more often than not. Be it low scoring or not, give me the guy that’s a crooked number threat

I think runs will be at a premium this series. I'm not putting any of Joc Soler Rosario Duvall in CF. I'd rather have Pache's younger fresher legs in late. So give me 5-6 innings from Heredia to start then figure it out from there.

Don't need automatic outs in the postseason lineup. Duvall might cost us an out every once in awhile, but he's worth a lot more lengthening the batting order. Give me 4 ABs out of Duvall and then stick Heredia out there in the victory formation in the 9th.

Man, these mid-afternoon start times are awful.

MLB has their head up their ass when it comes to postseason scheduling. They need to stop worrying so much about exclusivity and catering to large market teams. Just start all the weekday games 6:30-8ish so people don't have to do gymnastics to watch a game. With 4 series going at once, the appeal is still mostly regional anyway. It's OK if games overlap.

Then in a couple of weeks, they'll put World Series games on TV with 9:00 start times in the East so that kids can't watch more than a few innings of the biggest event they've got.

Would you sit Freddie just so you could PH him late against Kimbrel? No. Roll with your best lineup and make Hader a non-factor by having a lead.

This, I was looking ahead, and besides weekends this is the only series I'll probably get to see.

Fair enough. Just early morning thoughts.
