Starters: Bradish game 1, GRod game 2

[Moose Milligan]

Ah right, I remember watching his start against us earlier this year. Throwing wads of Kleenex for 7 innings, 4 hits, 1 run.

Means, since he lives in Dallas, might be able to sleep in his own bed the night before he starts?

How does SigBot account for this

Heaney innings 1-3, followed by Dunning for another three innings; more if he's good.  Montgomery for game two and Eovaldi starts game three and then Bochy makes it up on the fly after that.  Heaney is simply not good enough to start game one in a post-season environment, so burning two starters in one game makes sense in that situation.

We scored 7 runs in 3 innings of him the other time.  He’s made 6 starts against the O’s in his career, and we’ve hit him hard in four of them.  We’ll see which version of Heaney shows up tomorrow.

Shocking …… I think they are the 2 most deserving. I just expected Hyde to squeeze Gibson in there somewhere.

So your guessing Means and Gibson over Kremer?

Yep..Gibson success Vs Texas and in Texas is the clincher.

Although Kremer over Means wouldn’t shock me.

He throws with his left hand and his fastball averages 92.5 mph. We’re probably screwed. 

Orioles hit lefties better than the do righties when you look at vs league average. They suck against soft tossers though.

I could see this.

Bochy is trying to put O'Hearn on the bench vs lefties.  He is thinking Gunnar does not hit lefties has   well as righties.   He probably thinks Hyde plays Mateo at SS and Gunnar at 3B putting Urias on the bench.

And yet, the team as a whole has a .764 OPS vs. LHP, .733 vs. RHP.

I think we want a lefty in this series. You may be right about Gibson, he also pitched great down the stretch. Kremer was good too . I wonder if we could see an "opener" gambit with something like Kremer one time through the order, then Means (or vice versa). Similar to what they may be doing with Heaney. So Means wouldn't start but may pitch more innings.
