What 3 or 4 starters should start and in what order? Keep in mind that JT might be on a pitch limit. Should we try to grab a starter like Lincecum in August?

thank you weso1!
Minor, JT, and Medlen is who I would go with right now. Beachy would be the #4 guy and possibly pass Medlen depending on if he ends up pitching like he did last year. I don't think we need to pick up anyone in August. We can limit JT's innings now if we want to since our lead is so big.
Minor/Teheran/Medlen and then whoever is pitching better at the time between Beachy/Wood/Maholm.
As of now Minor, Teheran, Medlen and Wood.
Could change of course depending on how the six options pitch down the stretch.
Tough to say. I pitch whos hot at the time. Minor and Teheran for sure have to be 2 of the 3 you would think. JT will/should be on innings watch but if we are smart, we go ahead and start limiting those innings now and then give him a start or two before the postseason and he will be good to go. The third pitcher is a toss up. I like Meds. I like Beachy. I like Wood.
Who knows. I just hope our offense is clicking.
Julio might be on a pitch limit for all we know. I think the top 4 will wind up being this:
Minor
Beachy
Medlen
Maholm
Teheran to the pen.
thank you weso1!
Can always just skip him a few times so his innings aren't crazy high.Originally Posted by weso1
He's not on 160 inning cap.
He can around 180-190+

I don't think there is anyway the Braves have a playoff rotation without Teheran. He has been arguably our best pitcher since the middle of April.

Tough to say because a lot can change over final few weeks leading up to it. Could also depend a lot on the team we're facing. I would say probably Minor/Teheran in the first two and then whoever is pitching the best out of the others.

All you need is Hart and Cox.
Yeah, a compelling argument could be made for sure. Kid is an absolute beast and went up a few notches after hitting Harper and not backing down. I guess its easy to not back down with a bear defending you.

whoever has the best road numbers, pitch on the road.
I assume JT grew up in a place where someone like Harper would be the least intimidating person there.
All you need is Hart and Cox.

Medlen to the pen.
Julio is the guy I want on the road.
Minor has been dominant at home the last season and a half.
If it's 2-2-1, then I go: Minor-Medlen/Wood/Beachy (whoever is hot)-Teheran.
In a seven game, I want Minor-Medlen at home, Teheran-Wood away.
Wood just looks like he has the makeup (lol) to pitch in a hostile crowd away. I want Minor to put us up in the first game for sure.
Of course this would've been easier if Huddy were still available. Just have Huddy pitch game 1.

I'd want Wood in the pen.
He's nasty on lefties.
I guess it makes sense with his bullpen experience but we would have to see a lot out of Beachy/Wood down the stretch to do that.

Pretty ugly, all things considered.
Not sure why you continue to insist that its ugly. Our top 2 is awesome (unproven in the playoffs but awesome). Medlen is a really good #3 with the potential to pitch like an ace and we have seen some really good things out of Beachy/Wood thus far.

Yep. That's exactly what I was saying in the game thread.
