Tenative Pitching Matchups (for the rest of the season)

[redsandrails]

Coming in to the home stretch I felt this would be appropriete. These are subject to change with injuries and trades and such but it will give everyone a good idea on what we are going up against. Some observations include the fact that in 7 games vs: SF NONE are against Schmidt.

I would assume that ????? will get skipped at every opportunity.

On pace to miss Schmidt both times.

[RedLegSuperStar]

38 games left... I think with those match-ups we can go 24-14

88-74

Unfortunately the only wasy to skip the "?????" is to push Lohse back a day and then make the new person take Lohse's old slot.

Actually, skipping ????? as often as possible and still getting everyone 4 days rest, it could look like this.

August
21-Arroyo
22-Lohse
23-?????
24-Milton
25-Harang
26-Arroyo
27-Lohse
28-?????
29-Milton
30-Harang
31-OFF
September
1-Arroyo
2-Lohse
3-Milton
4-Harang
5-?????
6-Arroyo
7-OFF
8-Lohse
9-Milton
10-Harang
11-OFF
12-Arroyo
13-Lohse
14-Milton
15-Harang
16-?????
17-Arroyo
18-Lohse
19-Milton
20-Harang
21-OFF
22-Arroyo
23-Lohse
24-Milton
25-Harang
26-?????
27-Arroyo
28-Lohse
29-Milton
30-Harang
31-?????

That would mean 6 starts for ????? instead of 8 in the original post. I don't know how many of the contending teams will be doing this, of course, that would skew the original matchups pretty bad.

We might miss Chris Young against the Padres. He only threw one inning yesterday and left with a shoulder injury. That would be big to miss him. Haven't heard an update on him.
