13 games in the next 13 days could be reason to go with a 6 man rotation. After that, I would send Luis to the 'pen to get his confidence back. Especially with Bryce only throwing 60 pitches in his last rehab start. Will likely be taking it slow with him.

He throw more pitches in the pen after his start and proclaimed he is good to go.

Pete Woodworth just said on KJR that Castillo is throwing better than last year but has had bad luck.

Sounds like a 6 man rotation then. He has a point. His BABIP is insanely high. But his FIP is 4.24 vs. 3.88 last season.

The thing about Miller is that he's far from a sure thing. He pitched well in the playoffs last season, but for most of the season he was terrible, and he might well be brittle so we can't get rid of Castillo until we call up Anderson. Looks like the six-man rotation will have to suffice for now.

Option 1 wins. 6 man initially and then piggy back with Castillo and Miller....

You can say BABIP bad luck but I’ve seen a ton of cement mixer, curvy stuff that just hangs and it gets crushed
