Game 4 Thompson
Game 5 Haruhiro

[Puravida]

Don't know if this is possible, but:

MR Casilla to AAA
MR Haeger to AAA
MR Ayala to MLB
MR Heng to MLB



Game 1 H Ramirez
Game 2 Daniel Cabrera
Game 3 Dustin McGowan
Game 4 Chad Gaudin
Game 5 TBD

[DMBZeppelin]

I'm wondering what trick Puravida is hiding for Game 5. I think you'd be crazy not to go with Daniel Cabrera in Game 5. He's the best option of the three would could pitch, and he'd be starting on normal rest.

[Providence A's]

well, he better post or PM me the info as I plan on simming the entire 1st round in 1 shot barring any major injuries. It's fine if people want to say "start Joe for game 4 if behind, if not start Bob"...but I need a starter for game 5 just in case.

[Puravida]

No secret, but good conspiracy theory. I just thought this was like TPSL where we only had to post the first 3 starters.

I was going to wait and see how the first two starts went. I'd like to go with Cabrera unless he totally gets blown up in game 2. So I guess we'll just say start Cabrera unless he gives up more than 7 runs, then go w/ Ramirez.

[Providence A's]

I like to sim an entire round at once as I have done in the past and stated in the stickied thread entitled "playoff sim info..." I'll stop if there is a major injury, but I don't want the playoffs to take 2 or 3 weeks for me to complete going 2 - 3 games at a time (since I don't have as much time and energy as I did during the summer). I just find it easier for myself this way...especially for the 1st round considering it's only 5 games max.

[Providence A's]

Don't know if this is possible, but:

MR Casilla to AAA
MR Haeger to AAA
MR Ayala to MLB
MR Heng to MLB

I made those moves for you...where in the pen do you want Ayala and Heng exactly?

[Puravida]

Middle relief, please.

1. Valentine
2. Noritoshi
3. Heng
4. Ayala

[Providence A's]

I figured as much...just wanted to know the order.

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Christopher Leak
Game Notes:
Christopher Leak set a career high for RBI in a game!

Congrats to TEX. It's kind of ironic that BAL wanted Cabrera in game 5 if he gave up less than 7 runs in game 2...and he went on to give up more than 7 runs in game 5

[Mackus]

5-4 Baltimore, 3-2 Texas, 6-5 Baltimore, 3-2 Texas, 15-2 Texas.

One of these things is not like the other ones.

Was a really good series until the blowout in game 5 that I was fortunate to be on the winning side of. Hopefully Chaz Roe is back healthy for the ALCS, him, Haruhiro, and some dominating rookie performance from Chavira give me a real solid rotation.

I also like that I'm sticking with my pattern of going to the full length for all of my series. 5, 7, and 7 games in winning the WS last year, starting off with a full 5 in the ALDS this season.
