My guess would be Jump against Texas, Hurd for game 2 and Holman for game 3.


Holman will not pitch game 3. I think the end-goal is to have either Hurd become a viable Friday guy, or to eventually move Holman to Friday.

Moving Holman to Sunday eliminates both of those options by taking away atleast one rest day

When healthy and on their games, we have 3 legit Friday night guys. I think Jump has the ability to be the best option on Friday night. Holman has pitched like one so far. Hurd has not been consistent enough yet. Jump is on a different plan to be extended.

Seems the plan with Jump was. First, get him an inning and let him turn it loose. Make sure he felt good after that.

Second, give a low stress start, of almost strictly fastballs with a pitch count of 50. Make sure he feels good after that.

My guess is that he gets turned completely loose this weekend, except just on a 75-80 pitch count. But we should see everything jump has to offer, and I think it'll be legit.
