9/10 GDT Nats game 1

[bravesfanMatt]

it is a shame Hernandez hasn't been up already.

Why can’t Lopez come back until the 26th?

 

[Slippyjms]

Based on his velocity in his last start I would go ahead and push Sale back an extra day.

Ive got the rotation lining up like this

Fried 9/11 @ WAS

SS 9/13 vs LAD

Sale 9/14

Morton 9/15

Fried 9/16

5th Starter 9/17 vs CIN

SS 9/18

Sale 9/19

Morton 9/20 @ MIA

Fried 9/21

5th Starter 9/22

SS 9/24 vs Mets

Sale 9/25

Fried 9/26

Morton 9/27 vs KC

5th Starter 9/28

SS 9/29

Oh, I see they put him on the 15, not the 10.

It lines up pretty well for us if they keep to that. We need SS, Sale, and Fried going agaisnt the Mets. That likely determines the last playoff spot.

Pitchers are required to go on the 15 position players the 10

Arcia is hitting 5th tonight. I really don't understand this organization

The problem is Sale's velocity has been down almost 2 mph his last 2 starts, suggesting he needs some extra rest.

I understand now isn't the best time to rest the Ace, but if 93 turns into 91 he won't be an Ace.

I'm not really sure there's another option. Ideally SS would get more rest too but right now our backs are really up against the wall.

Morton, 5th starter, and SS to end the season is brutal. I love SS but dudes arm has to be getting tired. Looks like we will have 3 starts from a 5th starter. I bet our record in those 3 games determines our fate.
