The Rotation: 2024

[imref]

Davey says that Gore will now pitch the home opener, so it's Gray, Corbin, Irvin, Gore, Williams to start things off.

makes sense to split the lefties. Also, the two prime slots are the opener  and the home opener, so it's nice Gray and Gore split it.

Corbin's already accrued 10+ years of service time.  He'll likely retire after the season.  Look for an ERA around 6.0.  I'd make him a #5 to start the season, then move him to mop-up duties sometime in June or July.

OK  - who had the first two starters in games the Nats win as Corbin and Williams? Who had the first starter win going to Wiliams?

[Slateman]

Williams is the staff ace

That seems bad

Especially since Kansas City signed starters for what may not have seemed like insane prices and lengths

Braves are in trouble.

Braves are in trouble.

Guess who pitched their one quality start? Former Nat.

[Slateman]

They dont have a long reliever. Do they try and get someone fron the east coast, Corbin on short rest, or bullpen day?

Edit: Adon is traveling with the team. Fade me, fam.

They must have known Gray was injured.

Adon was on the taxi squad apparently.

did Latka know? What about Jim?

Slow down....

[Natsinpwc]

Adon was on the taxi squad apparently.

I know he pitched one game at Rochester this year.  ERA near 8 and WHIP of 3.00!! 

I expect a quality start tonight!!

All eyes on LA as Mitchell Parker tries to become the first pitcher since Strasburg to win his rookie debut for the Nats.

Facing Glasnow.  And that Dodgers lineup. Nats are +260. Surprised it’s not higher. 

[nobleisthyname]

Parker is a lefty (helps against Freeman and Ohtani) and seems to have good stuff given his minor league strikeout rate.

[Slateman]

Gotta think twice through the order and dive

One of these is not like the others:

Patrick Corbin 6.82
Jake Irvin 4.28
MacKenzie Gore 3.19
Trevor Williams 2.27
Mitchell Parker 1.69

Jake Irvin 4.28
MacKenzie Gore 3.19
Trevor Williams 2.27

FIPs tell a similar story:
Corbin 4.62
Irvin 3.37
Gore 2.69
Williams 2.88
Parker 1.76

[Mattionals]

When Gray is ready, I think Corbin really needs to get shoved to the bullpen. It's too hard to justify him in the rotation and his salary is sunk now.
