@arth65456 I actually say Kuroda, but I can totally see Nova doing the job too. I think Kuroda’s experience over the length of time Pettitte will be out gives him a slight edge. Nova is getting results, but was actually somewhat fortunate the other night as he was hit pretty hard. Hopefully Kuroda steps up right away, they need a big game from him today.

I would say Nova also Chris. Nova has shown the ability to be a big game pitcher dating back to last year and as the starts go on, he develops more confidence in his stuff. He also eats a ton of innings even when he struggles. I like Hughes, but with Andy gone, I don’t know if he will continue the success then when Andy was around to give him confidence. Also, not sold on Kuroda in a big spot. Would rather have Garza than Kuroda
