Blurb from Evan Grant update he just put out:

Quote:
Dunning will be in perfect shape to start Game 1 of the AL Division Series with Jordan Montgomery and Eovaldi to follow, on regular rest.

Maybe Scherzer will be available at some point. Lets see what kind of update we get in the next couple days. The one from Evan earlier today was encouraging.

No. Don't change a thing. Holland's twitter feed is amazing. Give him jersey love.

It's a two hour flight from Tampa to Dallas. It's not like these dudes have to go through security. Hop on the bus, drive to the airport, walk onto plane, ride home. Zero effort required.
It is probably closer to 3 hrs.

It is 30 mins just to the Tampa airport.

It is 6:20pm in Tampa. Let's say thtey get to DFW by 11pm. Home by midnight?

3hr flight from DFW to anywhere in the NE.

If you've ever traveled, those weekend trips home can be exhausting. The wife and kids all think you've been on vacation and expect time and help doing things.

Fly the family up to Baltimore and save the trip, IMO.

I just looked it up. 2 hours and 35 minutes. I have flown that route several times.

Ever flown private though? You feel a lot better after that flight than going through the beat down of a large airport.

Either way though, I don't give a crap where they stay tonight or tomorrow. Just happy that they'll be in Baltimore.

Right now, which 3 man rotation would you exchange Montgomery/Eovaldi/Dunning for?


And I know it's stupid to say, but let's all remember that these are essentially our #3,#4 and #5 starters. A healthy DeGrom (#1) and Scherzer (#2) would make this an incredible starting 5.

Dunning was a question mark to make the team out of ST. Don't forget Odorizzi. Dunning was a bullpen hopeful.

These are the FA guys that need to be replaced for 2024:

Quote:
SP: Perez, Montgomery, Odorizzi
RP: Chapman, Stratton, Smith, Kennedy

Ut: Hedges, BMiller, Grossman, Jankowski
C: Garver

EC reasily replaces Grossman & Jankowski.

Montgomery is the one sentimentally that I'd like to get.
But you've got : eGrom, Scherzer, Dunning, Eovaldi, Gray, Heaney

Garver & Hedges would be nice.

I've got to think Garver is gone, probably looking for a more full time role which he honestly deserves. We were pretty look to get 2 - 20 HR Catchers

Had to catch the second half on the radio as I was on the road - oh man! Let's go!!! My only regret is that we couldn't get a double shutout, lol.

Heaney has a player option for 24, so he isn't a definite for 24 yet. It's for $13M, so depends on if he things he can get a better offer than that, or a multi year deal.

Assuming we go with Dunning for game 1. Do we go with Monty on short rest Sunday? Any news on Scherzer? Heard the bullpen session today was great. Could really use him Sunday and let Monty go Monday.

Also, Dunning was great against Baltimore early in the year when we were still stretching him out. Went 4 IP for 0 ER and a .167 BAA.

Yes, but as we've discussed another 2.2 IP and it vests to $20M. That's kinda "who knows" land, IMO.

He'll still be 32 in the offseason, It will be interesting to see what his agent finds out there.

I'm guessing his agent will be looking for 3-4 yrs. Maybe $15-20 per?!

Evan indicated that it is still unlikely he's available in the ALDS. That said, Max doesn't seem to be bound to traditional timelines.

Monty is the only must resign guy on the roster for me. I would love to have Garver back on another 1-2 year deal but at the right price. Same with Chapman and Stratton.

Montgomery would be on regular rest Sunday, I think.

I believe Sunday would be normal rest for Monty

Scherzer threw a BP session today and said "I turned a corner."

I think Dunning, Monty, Eovaldi. If Max is available, I'd like to see him in G3 or G4 at home. I think the energy would buoy him and he'd be electric.

If we don't get anyone back from injury…. My guess is this.


Game 1 Dunning extra 2 days rest
Game 2 Monty normal rest
Travel Day
Game 3 Eovaldi extra day rest
Game 4 ?
Travel Day
Game 5 Dunning extra day rest

Yep brain fart. I skipped a day in my head. All the more reason today was crucial to win. Dunning/ Monty/ Evo. I like our chances!

I think if game 4 is needed then you gotta go with Heaney. He's been pretty damn good lately. Obviously if this is the plan then that limits our bullpen in games 1-3.

AT LEAST since the '80s. I'll concede I didn't hear it in the '70s, but wouldn't swear it wasn't being done then.
