3-12 after next week then be very lucky to navigate 7-8 / =10-20 no Hoover this year. A wake up call for Jay to get a bonified hitting coach and a better pitching coach/. Then he can focus on doing a better job of overall talent evaluation

Actually we may be 4-11 after next week. Holman may get it done. That’s a lot of pressure on him, win or get swept.

What pitchers would you throw in game 2 then? I haven’t seen any midweek guys or game 3 guys that would do any better than what Jay threw game 2.

Well for one thing, I see Coleman started game 3. In my scenario, Coleman is a possibility to come in before/after Ackenhausen, once he loses his edge.

I also see Guidry didn't pitch this weekend. I don't know if he's hurt or what.

My biggest point re game 2- you play that game as an elimination every series. If you get a lead (especially middle innings), you then go with your entire bullpen, minus the guys you burned in game 1. No "oh, let's hold this guy for tomorrow so he can start", none of that.
You don't leave a guy in there to see if he can work through a jam, with nobody in the bullpen.

Again, we're getting crushed in game 3 anyway. But we've had a couple game 2's in our grasp, and just rolled with the guy in relief too long.
