I would think with small left field in philly, Ozuna could handle things and we could get Contreras in line-up.
Fingers crossed on playoff Eddie coming to life, I can't take any more 0 for games from him. Including NY we've basically played 5 playoff games, he doesn't have a hit and has basically two errors and zero range.
I have no idea what to expect from Strider today, but I think it's either going to be 101 mph dominance for 2-3 innings, or a complete meltdown.
Who is going to pitch bulk after Strider? Odorizzi once through the lineup?
If he gives you 3 or close to it, don't you have to go directly to McHugh? Pitching Odorizzi is just asking for it.
I think we try to get 5 combined out of Strider and McHugh. Whatever they can't do (or can) Lee gets you through 6.
That's the plan with a lead or behind by a run or two.
If we get get behind big then its an Odorizzi/Stephens game.
This is probably all correct.
“Spencer Strider felt discomfort in his oblique during pre-game warmups and will not start game 3. Jake Odorizzi will be starting in his place.”
Wow.
