So who starts Tuesday and Thursday v Cleveland?

I assume Framber's next start is Friday v Seattle. Sounds like Javier will be back also v Seattle, and Blanco will get the 3rd game.

France is back in Sugar Land.

So Brown and Arrighetti will get Tuesday and Thursday v Cleveland.

Or Blanco gets Thursday?

If you start JV/Blanco/Arrighetti v Cleveland

And

Framber/Javier/Brown v Seattle you at least give yourself an opportunity in theory to win both series

JV gets the middle game v Cleveland on Wed and then the opening game v Yankees the following Tuesday on the road it appears

Arrighetti gets this Tuesday v Cleveland and last game of Seattle series on Sunday?

Brown seems to have been relegated to bullpen at least in the Rockies series

Then series v Yankees starters are JV, Blanco, and Framber?

If Framber and Blanco get the Fri and Sat games v Seattle then they would be in line to start final two games at NYY the following Wed and Thursday.

Do not need Brown or Arrighetti starting there.

It might be Bielak that gets DFA'd along with either Abreu or Singleton, All three of those guys have had plenty of opportunity to show they can make an impact and have not produced. Brown is the new Bielak in the bullpen if he gets hammered again.

It won't be a pitcher. MLB rules require 13 position players and 13 pitchers. If they dfa bielak, they have to call up a pitcher too

I think they can pull off 3 of JV/Framber/Javier/Blanco starting v NYY and then two of those (JV and whoever doesn't start @NYY) starting v Detroit. So one of the games v Detroit would be Arrighetti or Brown.

This assumes Javier returns v Seattle. I guess that could be pushed to NY.

Porkchop's Astro Shanks Report 4/28/24


Score: 8-2 victory vs. the Rockies in Mexico City.
I knew it was over when: I realized that the Rockies really are this bad.
Record: 9-19 (.321)
Projected Record Pace: 52-110, no longer the worst record in franchise history!
Standings: 5th place, 6 games out of first we picked up a game on Seattle today
Who hears us knocking?: The Angles, they've lost 4 games in a row and are just 1 game ahead of us at 10-18
Run Differential?: -22, a dramatic move up from 14th to 9th in the AL!
To get to 90 wins: 82-52 (.612)
To get to 81 wins: 72-62 (.537)
Who would have thought? When you start actual quality pitching, you win games.
Let's all admit our terrible shared opinion: The day Altuve retire, we'll probably need a sick day from work. We didn't take one that time our wife wanted to go apple picking or to a B&B, but we're going to need one for Altuve.
It was fun while it lasted: Jose Abreu falls back to .099 with an 0-for-4 day.
If you ever get the letters LOPERFIDO in Scrabble: You can spell Profiled, and get the 50-point bonus. If you do it on a triple word score, we're talking 92 points.
Back up the Brinks truck: Kyle Tucker is on pace for 41 HR and 116 RBI in his contract year.
Back up the Geo Metro: Alex Bregman is on pace for 0 HR and 41 RBI in his contract year.
Real starters: Blanco, Javier, Valdez and Verlander are a combined 7-0.
Not-ready-for-prime-time starters: Brown, France, and Arrighetti are a combined 0-10.
Unlimited Power Award: Tucker, Altuve, and Alvarez are all on pace for 41 HR apiece this year.
