Who are we thinking as the starters for this weekend

TD Thread

You'll get some predictions here.

Why would you assume that?

because hurd and holman have been friday and saturday the first two weeks

This will be Hurd’s chance to show that he is our Friday starter because we have a couple of other guys nipping at his heels.

do hurd holman and jump pitch midweek

Still think Hurd starts Friday with a short leash. Jump will be there waiting.

Holman Saturday and Coleman Sunday. All signs point to Jay wanting to keep Coleman as a starter because he needs the full pre-game routine to lessen his injury risk.

This is just me completely guessing. But if Anderson gives another solid outing tonight, then he moves to the weekend pen and plays a role similar to Ack and Herring. First one out, and can go for extended innings. Coleman becomes the midweek starter.

Then we get some form of Jump, Holman, Hurd. Ideally I'd love to see Holman stay on Saturdays, but for that to happen someone has to show the ability to control Fridays. Again, just a guess, but I'm going with Jump Friday, Hurd Saturday and Holman on Sunday for this week.

This is my thinking as well. Or at least what I hope ends up happening.

Holman will not pitch game 3. I think the end-goal is to have either Hurd become a viable Friday guy, or to eventually move Holman to Friday

When healthy and on their games, we have 3 legit Friday night guys. I think Jump has the ability to be the best option on Friday night. Holman has pitched like one so far. Hurd has not been consistent enough yet. Jump is on a different plan to be extended.

Seems the plan with Jump was. First, get him an inning and let him turn it loose. Make sure he felt good after that.

Second, give a low stress start, of almost strictly fastballs with a pitch count of 50. Make sure he feels good after that.

My guess is that he gets turned completely loose this weekend, except just on a 75-80 pitch count. But we should see everything jump has to offer, and I think it'll be legit.

You're wild if you think they push the eject button on Hurd as a starter after just two weeks.
