This Season's Last Three Regular Season Games

[Bahama O's Fan]

What do you want to see? Who should get the most rest? How many should Adley catch? Who should be the starting pitchers? Might we see Felix? Other thoughts?

Felix is what I'm wondering about. Is there any word about the simulated game from a couple days ago? If he isn't hurting this weekend would be a good time to have him pitch an inning.

I don't like the idea of Bautista going in cold during the ALDS if he makes a return.

Issue with throwing Felix is whoever you send down for him is down for next round. Not that it’s a huge deal. 
 

IF LAD lose tonight and they are…Orioles magic # is 2 for home field if we play th in WS.  

[Just Regular]

The game after a clinch is notorious, but as it is unrolling, tomorrow is significant as the next step of Means' return and assessment what kind of tournament load he gets.

It might make sense to just push Means to Saturday or Sunday now, and let tomorrow night be random bullpen time.

I agree, pushing Means back would make perfect sense.

DFA Lopez since he's not eligible for the postseason anyway.

When I saw Cano warming up to get ready to go in the 8th, the small part of me that has watched too many movies was hoping for the whistle to start the top of the ninth.

Epic WWE-style moment. I can hear Jim Ross now.

I want to see people not lament over every pitch and every at-bat and just enjoy the last three games. They are not indicative of what happens in our series a week later.

[yark14]

I want to see Kjerstad break baseballs in half and Westburg to get consistent at-bats.  Other than that let the big dogs rest.

[deward]

I'd assume some rest for Gunnar and Adley. Should be three straight starts for guys like Kjerstad, Westburg, and Urias. Mounty should probably play all three to get back in the groove.

The Game Thread would be like bizarro Game Thread.

I would think I was on the wrong site.

This. Adley should get a full rest day tomorrow. I want to see more of Flaherty and Fuji in medium leverage. Wells won't be available tomorrow but if they are serious  they should keep giving him any closing opportunities.

I want to see Kjerstad in the field. There is a reason he's only DH'd and I want to see it for myself.
