Playoff Rotation?

[bkeat23]

A little advice appreciated here.

Headed to a playoff vs a Dunn Team, I'm in Griffith.

His power source is Mays, but has Cobb, Cochrane, and Shoeless from the left side. Cobb doesn't figure in, IMO, since he'll hit anyway.

I have Koufax, Camnitz, Kaat, and Boyd. Is it a good idea to save the lefties for Dunn, and keep Boyd from pitching in Dunn at all?

Griff
1 Boyd
2 Camnitz

Dunn
3 Koufax
4 Kaat

Griff
5 Boyd

Dunn
6Camnitz

Griff
7 Koufax

Or just line up Koufax, Camnitz, Kaat , then Boyd just as I have all year?

Thanks!

my 2 cents would be to use koufax at home. swap koufax for camnitz. if it goes 7 games you finish with koufax and camnitz.. and boyd will be better at grif and kaat at dunn. but again just my 2 cents.

I assume you're in the finals, so games 3-4-5 would be at Dunn if you are starting at home. I'd go with Koufax, Camnitz, Kaat and Boyd. That will give you 2 lefties at Dunn if it goes 5, and I'd rather have Kaat going for me in a game 7 than Boyd. My .02. Good luck. :wink:

Conventional wisdom is go with the horses that got you this far!

Barring that, I would probably go .......

Koufax
Boyd
Camnitz
Kaat
Koufax
Boyd
Camnitz

Here's my reasoning:

#1 - Boyd only pitches in Griffith, where he is more valuable.
#2 - You open and close the series with one of your aces.
#3 - Kaat only pitches in Dunn, where he doesn't get hurt by the BP effect.

Good luck!

Might be a good time to give Vance and Tunnell a little work. 8)
Of course my motives might not be on the up and up! :wink: Just
glad to be in the playoffs. :D When we get done with the wildcard
party I'll try to figure my rotation out. Great of HAL to give Cochrane
a couple days off to start the playoffs.

Vance and Tunnel pitched in 161 and 162, so Hal won't let me put them in :lol:

I benched Honus, Sanguillen, and Steinfeldt the last 6 games, and HAL already had Alou on the shelf. I got lucky none of them pinch hit and got hurt.
