I'm not really in support of coasting

But they coasted last year, ending with a losing record and finished one game from the WS

I truly don't think management is concerned about missing the playoffs

Should they be? We'll see. I know it's cliche, but it's a business, and from where I'm sitting, the players are going to have to do something to combat the owners attempts to make them more affordable

Last year was different, as Seattle, Anaheim, and Texas were so bad that the Astros could frick around into second place in the division. They can't do that this year, they are only one game ahead of the Indians for the last playoff spot.

If it was still a 16-team playoff with 3-game first-round series, then absolutely. Cruise control.

Yes, because examples like losing Tucker and Bregman within 48 hours for perhaps significant time can happen to any team, no matter how much 'rest' they employ.

This is not 2017-2019. Our bullpen sucks and we're not winning the division by 10+ games.

Rest people who need to be rested for known reasons. Every player is different. Rotate the DH around now that Yordan can play the field. At least pinch hit guys on their day off every time it can turn a game your way.
