GDT 8/25/23: Braves @ Giants - Keeping our Stride

Yeah, i think you need all 3 of Morton, Strider, and Fried going in LA. Having Elder, bullpen game/someone else, and 2 of them gives LA a real, real advantage to win that series. I think we need to split there at the very very worst case scenario. Takes off 4 games from the schedule and they gain nothing.

Right now, it has Fried, tbd, Elder and Morton scheduled there. I'd punt a game just to have Strider in there. Dodgers schedule other than a road series in Seattle is not that difficult the rest of the way.

First thing first. Winning our games in Colorado is just as important as winning games in LA. If we sweep COL then even if we get swept by LA we're still ahead of them in the standings.

From there I don't think there's any reason to punt any games. Shuster is starting tomorrow. That should set up Elder to start Monday and Morton on Tuesday. Shuster could then be sent down for Soroka to start the finale vs Colorado on Wednesday.

That would line up Strider for Thursday Fried for Friday Elder for Saturday and Morton for Sunday against LA. We could also send Soroka back down on Friday to get Lee and Chavez back in combination with September call ups.
