Awesome...love that it ended with Jennings...onto the next.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Woooooooo!!!!!
Bring on the Tigers!!!!

[stretch]

next question... what is the rotation Wash will use for ALCS?

of course CJ should be game 1

i say G2 should be Holland if they are at home, or Colby if they are on the road.

I just mainly want Colby to pitch on the road, he doesnt seem to get rattled, and generally pitches much better on the road.

Agreed. Colby for Game 2 if the Yankees make a comeback on the Tigers. Otherwise, go with the same rotation as the ALDS.

If the Rangers play the Tigers (I'm not jumping ahead, I know this series ain't over yet)... but if it's the Tigers, I would seriously consider making Ogando the fourth starter and not have Colby Lewis on the roster at all considering the 2 starts each Ogando and Lewis had against the Tigers. I don't know what Washington said about Ogando and whether he's staying in the pen the entire playoffs, but if you guys don't remember, you should revisit the 4 games where Ogando and Lewis pitched against the Tigers. Ogando owned them. Lewis got trucked.

Some I made for another board:

Colby did suck against the Tigers this year. But the entire team sucks against the Tigers for some reason. Considering how Colby has done the last two postseasons, there is no way he can not start. If it's the Tigers, he will absolutely start Game 3 in Detroit. He has been much better on the road than home. He needs to be avoided at home at all costs.

I thought about that too but that was before Ogando started sucking royally. I think we have to stick with these four and not try and outsmart ourselves

Not Ogando. And not Michael Young. But I hear what you guys are saying.

Again, no way am I thinking the Tigers already won. Tonight's game is far from a guarantee, and the Tigers are in trouble if they have to go back to New York for game 5.
