CJ will be set to start game 2.

[Angel Oracle]

Almost hoping Oakland wins the WC game.

Santiago pitches well in that monstrosity.

Please stop saying that. I have tickets to that game and a 275 mile drive ahead of me.

[Blarg]

Give me the tickets and I will tell you how it goes.

The team we play is gonna have a crap lineup.  So maybe theres hope for a good start by CJ.

Pretty obvious IMO since he's throwing today. He would have thrown tomorrow if they wanted him for game 3.

Oakland or Seattle would be ideal. They are both lefty heavy lineups so CJ/Santiago could turn in a good outing vs them. Santiago has had no issues with Oakland all year and Seattle has now made CJ look like a good pitcher his last 2 outings vs them

Were facing KC.  At least thats what I think.

[tdawg87]

Yes, lets hope to face the team we've gone 7-10 against this year.

[bloodbrother]

Eh, last 4 games against them meant nothing to the team, and one of them they suited up the Salt Lake Bees

 

Sosh has already pulled Trout/Pujols from this game...when it was 1-0. They aren't managing like it means anything, which is doesn't.

[gurn67]

With C.J. this year, a lot of it depends who the umpire is. Pitcher's umpire that's lets him nibble, great! Hitter's umpire that makes him throw strikes, ugh!

[ABC]

Yeah, it's the ****ing playoffs.  Suck it up.

 

Your immaturity is showing. You have no idea what type of pain an ab strain is if you make that statement. It's similar to a pulled back muscle. Good luck forcing your body carry a box let alone pitching full speed in a playoff game. I can't imagine pitching with either injury unless under some sort of pain killer.

Not only that, but lets have a guy who looks like he's going to be a mainstay of our starting rotation for the next several years go out and hurt his pitching arm because he's altering his delivery to compensate for the muscle strain. That's real smart!

Exactly. Just like someone who injures a knee and then blows out the other leg's ankle because of unnatural movement and carrying an extra load.

[Angel Oracle]

Most famous case I remember reading about was Dizzy Dean suffering a toe injury, and then the altered delivery produced a career ending pretty much shoulder injury.

I can't disagree with you more about Oakland.  Oakland is a patient team at the plate and requires a pitcher to throw strikes.  CJ does not throw strikes, if batters don't swing at bad pitches he walks them.
