Suarez, Povich, and Irvin for Atlanta

[accinfo]

I just heard on the radio it will be Suarez, Povich, and Irvin for the Atlanta series.  So the 6 man rotation is in place.  I can see Kremer getting slotted in when he is ready for Povich.  I wouldn’t be surprised he goes on a rehab the same night Povich pitches.  This puts our top 3 against the Phillies.  Yankee series will be more interesting since there will be a day off next Monday.

Makes sense given Atlanta's issues on offense.

With the off day pre-NY, I think Povich may be optioned after his start no matter the result. I'm guessing: 

ATL: Suarez, Povich, Irvin

PHI: Bradish, Rodriguez, Burnes

off-day

@NYY: Suarez, Irvin, Bradish?

They could potentially skip Suarez in NY and go with Irvin-Bradish-Rodriguez on 4 days rest each. But I think they'll do the above.

Something like that.  I agree Povich goes down after his Wednesday start, and they’ll bring up a bullpen arm until another starter is needed.

Next Sunday may be Burnes-Wheeler. Are they the two most bankable (healthy) aces in MLB at the moment? 

Don't worry, the ESPN Sunday Night crew will be busy with Yankees-Red Sox.

I like Bradish getting extra rest. Hopefully Burnes and maybe Grayson pitch every five days with Irvin and Suarez pitching out of the bullpen on occasion.

Thanks for the rep but I wasn't joking.

I feel bad for the Braves.  That is a formidable gauntlet to run.

I see people complaining about this but I’d much rather have our guys calling the game than espn

So would I.  

I do like that Sunday night timeslot though.

I’d be tempted to start Suarez on Sunday on 4 days rest and hold Burnes for Tuesday in NY.  While the Philly series is big a win against NY is more valuable in the standings than against the Phils.

They don't have a single hitter with an OPS over .800 other than Ozuna.

On paper Atlanta has the advantage on tomorrow as they have Fried on the hill. Wednesday both teams have young, unproven guys who have 3 career starts between them. And I'm saying Bradish as our scheduled starter for Thursday.

They already announced starters for tues - thurs. Not Bradish.

This. You only get so many shots at your division rivals with the new schedule. Malpractice not to have your ace go in New York.
