Okay, Kevin, let's start with the pitching.
Last night, rookie Cade Anderson picked up his first major league victory.
He went six sharp innings, allowed only two runs, and Cole Young hit the go-ahead two-run double.
How do you evaluate that performance from a prospect standpoint?
It was textbook.
Anderson didn't try to overpower hitters.
He used his off-speed pitches to induce weak contact.
Six innings is a solid workload for a rookie in a high leverage spot.
The key was his plate discipline.
He didn't chase balls out of the zone, which kept his pitch count manageable.
Right? And that efficiency is huge for the bullpen.
If Anderson had gone eight innings, we'd be in trouble tonight because we might not have enough arms left.
But since he went six, we have some flexibility.
Who do you see starting tonight?
Logically, you rest Anderson.
That means someone from the back end of the rotation steps up.
You've got Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Bryce Miller, and Brian Wu still on the roster.
Given the urgency of this series, I'd expect them to lean on Wilson or maybe even bring a reliever to bridge the gap if they want to save a starter for the finale.
But wait, the brief says the next game is tonight against Texas.
And looking at the previous games, Brian Wu had that dominant shutout earlier in the series.
Do you think they stick with Wu for game two? Or do they shuffle the deck?
If Wu pitched well in game one, the temptation is strong to use him again, especially since he's been so effective.
But standard protocol usually dictates rest between starts unless there's an emergency.
I think they'll go with a fresh arm, possibly Michael Arroyo if he's ready, or perhaps a swing and roll from the bullpen.
