When in doubt, go with the better stuff. Shuster has the better stuff.

As someone else mentioned, i'm pretty sure that both will break camp with the team. Wright taking a week off probably causes him to miss a start. So you can give both Schuster and Dodd a chance to make a statement in an actual big league game, while making sure Wright is good to go.

Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
Not sure that's ultimately the case, just from what I've read. Shuster's change-up is supposed to be superior, but I've read Dodd has the better breaking-ball. Super similar profiles, either way, though.

Good start from Shuster. If that is the production we get from the 5 hole on our staff, then the league is in trouble.

I don’t think that is a decided fact
I doubt both break camp with the team. If the Braves were gonna hold Wright back a it would make more sense to recall Anderson for the pen and see where we are when the 5th spot comes around. No need to make moves before they are necessary.
Looks like the 5th spot would come up about April 8 or 9. Depends on Wright.

still wouldn't be surprised if they run a 6 man rotation with age and injury such a factor on this staff.

Your mom runs a six man rotation.

Looking at the schedule for both the Braves and the Mets for the first 2 months, and the Mets really do have the advantage in strength of schedule. Hopefully the Braves can stay close though the end of May and things even out towards the middle of the season.

Doesnt everyone in the division have the same schedule?

Really liked the broadcast today. A rabid raccoon in heat is better than Chip, but I really liked Gaudin today. Such an improvement. I might actually be able to unmute the games this season
I believe that is the case from now on

The league is playing a balanced schedule this year. The strength of schedule is the same for everyone.

My point was that they seemed to have longer stretches where they are playing bad teams than the Braves.
Don't cloud the issue with facts.

By definition, wouldn't that also mean they have a long stretch where they play very good teams?

Thats why i listed it out. Doesn't look like they ever do.

I'm confused. If they play the same schedule that the Braves play, then they play the same number of difficult/easy stretches that the Braves do. I'm not sure its an advantage to play three bad teams in a row vs. playing bad good bad good bad. Schedule just isn't an excuse this year at all.
